| | | | This bass is turning out so very cool. I still can't get over the amount of veneers and layers, not to mention the glue. Very cool stuff. |

I was able to get the bridge and pickup cavities routed today.  |

A lot more progress made between the control cavity/birdseye maple cover and various shaping/sanding of the neck and contours. It's getting there.  |

I extended the pickup cavity towards the bridge to space out the pickups more and have a larger ramp between them. Then I carved the arm contour, drilled the output jack hole, glued up the ebony headstock veneer on the back, sanded, sanded, sanded, etc.   |

More sanding, drilling of holes for various wires, back headstock veneer shaping and stamping "JC1221" on the back of the headstock. The last photo is of the pickup ramp being glued. It is an ebony top with about 10 layers of the colored veneers that will show through when the height is adjusted.    |

Just stunning!
