Made some serious progress on this one today.

Got a good upper body workout the other day sanding the radius and hammering in the frets on Gilbert's 6 string bass.

Things are getting crazy in the BC shop.

A single cut? Holy moly! What's the weight gonna be?

This one has a canarywood top.

Hopefully not too much!

This one has a canarywood top.

Never seen one of those before, it's really pretty. Enjoyed the thread. Cheers.

Wrapped this one up the other day.

That fretboard!

Love the workmanship and I've learned a lot from your posts.

Nice work, but shouldn't this be in the showcase section and not the builder section?

There's a showcase section?

Rick, you post plenty of "in process" stuff, so I'm good with it here.

I guess it did kinda sound like I had a problem with it being in here. But no, I didn't have a problem. Even if I did, I'm nobody. I guess what I meant was, wouldn't it be better off in the showcase section.
But I was checking it out and it doesn't seem to get a lot of traffic. So, maybe not.

I never intended for my comment to be crappy, sorry about that. I was being serious though, i've never heard of a showcase thread.

 

[RichterScale]

It's all good. Didn't sound crappy at all.
I read it just how you meant it.
I'm still learning my way around here and just found it recently myself and I thought of this thread. My thought was, this doesn't seem so much like a typical how-to or build thread as much as seems like this guy should be showcasing this stuff. Obviously, nice stuff.
But like I said, I went and checked it out and it doesn't seem to get a ton off attention. So this is as good a spot to show it off as any.
I usually get irritated when people blurt out 2 sentence posts and don't clarify what they mean. Kinda like I did.

This is your showcase/gallery thread!

Seeing the progress of all these is awesome.

Here's a wild one......my first headless venture too. This will be a multi-scale, headless 5 string. Stay tuned for this one!
