Hey Robbie,

What woods are you using for this build? Looks like wenge and some kind of mahogany?

More work done on Rays bass today, Christophe came to see me yesterday also and we went over the final specs on his bass. The Noll 3 band preamp turned up and looks great. I will put a pic of it up tomorrow!

Cheers,

Robbie.

The latest picture of the back makes it look like it was carved out of one piece of wood! Fantastic matching, and a great looking build so far. Good luck and happy holidays!

I love the body and headstock shapes. Reminiscent of Skjold, but less angular. Nicely balanced curves.

what need is there to angle the open head. the sideways tuners would create enough of a string angle in itself. i guess it would not hurt. might make the strings unimaginably tight sounding though, which i think would be sweet. can't wait for some sound samples! btw, what angle is that head?

Your wood combinations always amaze me. They are elegant, while not being over the top.
