Heel erg bedankt!! Thank you all for watching and commenting I'm almost finished, just need to solder the electronics of the green bass. The dissertation got approved too (yay!)...

Man, you’re hitting all the buttons. Green is about my favorite color on instruments and Limba is one of my favorite woods (the natural one is Black Limba?) Excellent work.

Oh, and of course, a tooled leather pickguard and matching pickup covers and CF pickguard on the other. Super cool.

-sigh- Simply superior. And I suspect they play like butter?

 

[Basshappi]

I love everything about those, well done!

 

[Freekmagnet]

That’s a pair of real beauties you built there!

Out of curiosity, what filler did you use on the maple fretboard around the block inlay (to fill gaps)? I'm doing the same thing on my first board and love the results you got! Beautiful!

Thanks and sorry I missed your question! There was not much to fill, I glued the inlays with CA glue and sanded while it was still wet.

In the meantime I finally found some time to make proper pictures of the basses. Starting with number 4 Oh PS, I got my PhD too!

Impressive on so many levels.

That’s just gorgeous work, Frederick, I can’t believe how advanced you’ve gotten just in your time on TB!

Congrats on the PhD! And absolutely gorgeous work on the bass!

 

[Gilmourisgod]

Do we call you Dr. Frederiek now, or just Dr. Bass?

 

[wagdog]

Congratulations and kudos!

 

[I-Am-The-Slime]

Gefeliciteerd!!

 

[Reedt2000]

What's on the agenda for tomorrow? Negotiate world peace? Fly around the world so fast you turn back time and stop all human suffering from ever having happened?



In all seriousness, amazing work on the basses and hat's off to you for the PhD! (And the coy, super-slick way you slid the news about completing your degree in there )

 

[mark5009]

Simply fantastic! Well done all around!

 

[Slidlow]

Congratulations on all fronts!

 

[Frederiek]
