Club Bordwell Part 4

I have a bass in the classifieds I am looking to sell as a deposit on a 33" set neck with a custom body shape.

Anyone want a smoking deal AVii 66 Jazz Bass? 😀 My other CB needs a seat partner!

So this just arrived?
If so, 2 things...

1) Wow, that's amazing! Can't wait to hear your impressions.
2) If this batch is now done, that could mean I'm gonna be getting mine about a month earlier. He'd kind of hinted things may have been a bit ahead of schedule.
Nope. That's my first. New one isn't here yet.
This one is the mahogany/Zebrawood bass.
 
That's why I wasn't sure, I remember your new one being more stripey. How far out are you on that? Seems like it's getting close.
It's shouldn't be too long now. Neck is attached to body. Shapes are correct. I'm sure sanding is the most time consuming and arduous part. Once that's complete…
Not too long.
 
So...I spoke to Cliff and I have a bass coming up QUICK for production. At this moment, 4 string 33" SCB, ULTRA-light Spanish Cedar, killer olive top, light-colored back of Cliff's choosing, Indian Rosewood board, 1.5 nut, slim carve 3 piece maple neck, electronics...I am leaning toward either LeCompte Triple Threat pickups with coil switching, or (hopefully) some prototype RADIUSED dual coil pickups. Trickfish pre. Black Hipshot. Dunlop inset strap locks.
Here are some pics of the board and top!
