This is an example of why patience pays off: Matt came to me with a restoration request and so many things went less than perfectly along the way. Since he was understanding and patient I began to feel badly about the situation and so I offered a second bass that he was free to design as a way of saying "thank you".

Here's the start - Rosewood and straight grained Sugar Maple for the neck:

Resawn and ready for planing:

And now clamped:

That's very fair of you. Can't wait to see how this one comes out.

Also slightly off topic: where's Warlock?

It's on the back-burner since it's for me.

Looking forward to it Mikey! Subbed!

It's just a crime that you're using such a beautiful slab of rosewood where almost none of it'll be seen

But I'm sure it'll look great, and it's cool that you're doing that.

Subbed.

Very cool Mikey, You Rock, as usual.

On a side note, Sorry I missed you at the Nashville Amp Expo...
Laura & I did raise a glass to you at the Brewhouse though.

Good CS is like finding a unicorn and a pot of gold.
You sir are a unicorn.
