Ahh.....Updates. 
They are looking better and better all the time.
Shouldn't be too much longer.

This entire batch of basses is amazing, but I absolutely love the Big McNeely. It just does it for me, WOW, not to mention the uniquad pickup. I just lol'd at that.

Yeah, I want to see that one after the carve.
I'm diggin' the Amboyna bass too. I can't wait to see that one done as well.

Ha! I said,"Cliff, what do you think about a hollow body bass, with a uniquad pickup... maybe a Audere Z mode preamp... on nine layers of body wood? He started to say, "Okay"... when I added... and A REALLY BIG BASS BODY!
That Cliff is one nice guy

Can i join?
Just got this one...its SO awesome... I think it used to be Zooberwerx old one..
Congrats! Probably the best passive harness I've encountered. The mid roll-off actually works, too!
Please use a little extra time / caution when addressing the trussrod. Its a dual-action jobby with a non-removable 3mm hex nut and cannot be removed via conventional means if you hose it up. Given the neck stiffness, I find it be "under-engineered"....I can think of better config's.
Enjoy!

Hey, Thanks for that tip, the action is pretty sweet on it as-is, and its actually sporting my favorite brand and gauge of string, so hopefully it will need very little adjustment in the future, due to weather.
Oh, and you are absolutely spot on with the wiring, its by far the best range of tones out of ANY of my basses, passive or active, and that's a bold statement coming from me. I have an overwhelming desire to customize EVERYTHING, and I'm generally an active preamp kinda guy all the way, but this thing will get no modifications whatsoever! Its PERFECT.... but now that means i have to thin out "the harem" a little bit...
I would imagine shaping and sanding the basses is the most labor intensive part of building, I could be wrong, but it sounds labor intensive. 
Thanks for the updates.
Thanks for the updates.
I bet you guys are getting excited for the basses. I am sure that everyone of them will be excellent.
Since there is no real news this week, I will post the mockup I had beav do for me of the new bass I have on order. It is my custom design. Hope you like it.

Colonel,
Cliff seems pretty excited for it. He said that he really likes the shape, and he also said that he had been looking for tulipwood for a few years and just landed the piece for my bass right before I inquired about it.
Now, if only things in my life would get out of the way so I can get it all paid for, it would be great.
Thanks,
Justin

Justin,
That shape looks awesome! I am so jealous!!!! I have been asking Cliff for Tulipwood forever! Can't wait to see it get started... when does the build start?
-ScottM
Looks like an interesting design.
I'm currently 3 builds away. Haven't done @#%#$^ with music lately, but I'm now engaged...so doing my best to stock up while I still can.
I'm thinking I might get back into the swing of things when my road racing season calms down.

I concur on the design comments, it looks great.
It seems like Cliff will continue to be a busy man.

UPDATES!!!!!!! 
Man.......they are turning into the nicest looking basses.
They are going to pop when Cliff hits 'em with the finish.
The Big McNeely carved out nice, a really nice look to it.
It's gettin' harder to wait the closer they get.

Nice!
I really like the figure on the bubinga top. Makes me want to go home and play my SC. I just emailed Cliff on another bass idea that I have... and that bass makes me want to do another bubinga top with maple back!
The Big McNeely is looking good. Really looking forward to see how Cliff's hollow body design is going to make this fretless sound.
