yes its 32" scale. after 50 years of playing i finally found the right scale. LMAO
Good for you mate, and gorgeous bass.
Took me 29 years to find my preferred scale of 31.5", looks like I landed on it a little early

Beautiful! I don't think I saw that buckeye top in Cliff's stash, but maybe you had already picked it when I was choosing tops for mine (in the next batch)...
He had a few to choose from - The "uniformity" is exactly why I picked this one.
Lovin' it.
I have mine , its very nice , my bass will start when your batch is done. Scott is this the best place to see Cliffs current builds as they are in the process ?
Hello craigb43 -
If your interested, here is a link to my Cliff Bordwell build process from 12/28/2018.
My Cliff Bordwell Build
Yours and mine are in the same batch, I believe.
Cliff is pretty good about keeping you updated on the building process, but if you're interested in other people's builds as they progress, he posts some updates on Facebook and Instagram.

2nd this, his Facebook is always fun to watch.
I think these two basses he is building for me will add up to my 10th and 11th bass from him!
The original BIG McNeely he made I think I've owned 10 years or more, and it is still flawless.

Outstanding!
Where did you get the pickups? I've always wanted an Alembic in the herd, but with Cliff's improved ergos.
