I really like the idea of the patterns, is the front piece gonna be some metal of some sort? Its quite 'elegant' ! Im lookin forward to seeing pics of this bass in progress, I havent seen any of your work yet. Good luck with the build ! |

How ever, its probably just the guy at Beavs, but the magnets seem a little close to the edge, I guess its just a mistake with the graphics designer. I really really like the idea of the aluminum ! the patterns remind me of my Sitar, ill bring it when I come over, hehehe. |

Brilliant design & execution!
If you don't mind me asking, which specific materials did you use for the neck plates and let-in under-string accent stripe?
