    I love the design and the woods; wolfe, these basses of yours are always so killer!

    Can't wait to see it done and the potential awesomeness that is the 3rd creation.
     
  5. thats looking awesome wolfe. the figuring of the top goes sooo well with the curves of the body!

    The top has an awesome flame that goes the opposite way of the other figure... you can sort of see it here. when it has its finish it should be killer...

    Wow you are very lucky to have such a nice bass, not too many fretless maple fingerboard basses out their.

    You are only seeing the neck, the fretboard will go on top of that which will add a good bit of thickness. Not to mention its a shortscale with a thin neck... :)

    Is that just the centerline DRAWN down the middle of the fretboard for layout purposes, or is it actually a split in the wood?

    Peace

    Do you check this site?

    It has a headstock pic, I just dont post all the pics here... :)

    He is finishing up a bass right now and I told him to finish it first... it should be on this board soon, so look for it...

    ...it is a fellow tb'er but thats all I can say. ;)

    Heres the rough headstock... I am having som strange but cool inlays done on the back of the neck which are a bit tedious but will act as fret markers of sorts.
