| | Prat Basses | | Join Date: Jan 2010 Location: Canton, Ohio USA | | Ok, friends, more work done: Headstock
First I draw the shape in a paper, then on the ziricote top.
I cut the ziricite top and I glued it on the headstock.  |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Dec 2010 Location: Richmond Heights, OH | | This is now in my hands I will post some hi res photos when I get home tonight. What I can tell you is that this is the best 5 string bass I have ever owned. Oscar poured his heart and soul into this bass and it is stellar. Complete tonal clarity through all parts of this bass. His knowledge is second to none, and his craftsmanship is one the same level as luthier such as Mr. Fodera, Mr. Tobias, Mr. Smith, etc. I have been incredibly blessed to have owned so many works of art in my life, and this is one that will never leave my collection... | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
