| | Luthier: JC Basses | | Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: Auburn, CA | | I got a lot of work done on this bass today. I cut out the bubinga and rosewood to the body shape, made the ebony fretboard and cut the fret slots. I also cut the wenge and bubinga for the neck blank, I just need to glue it up.   |

| | Luthier: JC Basses | | Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: Auburn, CA | | I think you are referring to the rosewood top... the only bubinga you can see in those pictures is in the neck.  I wish I had bubinga that looked that nice. |
