I finally finished these two guys. It seemed to take me forever ...
Somehow, I tend to think at some point that it is a good idea to build 2 basses at the same time, and will save me tons of time. Of course, neither seems to be the case

They sound fabulous, and I'm very happy with both. The bubinga-one in particular, has got a low B that can make a grown man cry

I almost always hate basses in the natural wood grain, connected upper horn look. But this is layed out so that it pleases my eye. Really, amazing work.

Had to do the right thing and become a supporting member ...

The inlay/binding was routed with a 0.060" cutter. A standard plastic binding fit just right.

My last name is italian, I'm swiss and Mutti means Mother in German

Some pics of the back ...

Yes, it is more like " mom". It's not like I've not heard every possible joke regarding my last name

I originally come from near Zurich, and by american standards that means very, very close to Zurich. In Switzerland, it means it's 2 towns over ...

Man, that flamed maple on that neck makes me want a new bass. I've got to close this window before it costs me money.
