JC, you gotta be rollin in the dough my man! It seems like you post a new bass thread daily!

Hopefully I will have my own JC Basses build thread someday.

I just checked out your website. Your basses are stunning! I wish I had the money to get a custom one for myself

Haha, everyone knows bass builders don't actually make money.

I would love to build you a bass!

Thanks, fill out a request form on my site. You might find you can afford one after all.

Unless you are willing to give it to me for free, I'm afraid I can't afford one at the moment lol. I'm still working on paying for food and a place to live. Maybe when I land that nice, cushy engineering job I went to 5 years of school for When that day does come, I'll keep you in mind!

I made the design on mdf. The second picture doesn't have the neck positioned correctly, it is just there for reference.

I was able to thin down the top and bookmatch it. I was then able to glue the top to the body core and it is drying right now. The picture has a scrap fretboard just for color reference.
