I love it! I've been thinking of having that done to my next build, too! Great minds think alike haha.Getting closer. I requested the logo be embossed into the headstock. I think it turned out pretty classy.

Oct 9, 2024. Geoff had some issues with the finish so I said it was okay to take a few extra weeks to get it right. It's been 7 extra months so far. I'm told it will ship end of week. But ship date has moved more times than I can count.
Oh man, that's unfortunate, hopefully you can get it as soon as possible. Which finish was it?
Just a semi-gloss. Nothing fancy. But the product he used does not lend itself well to that finish as advertised. So he had to put in a lot more elbow grease into the build. I'm not upset about the wait. Geoff keeps me updated and it is not for lack of effort on Geoff's part.
Interesting, my first build was gloss, but this time ive opted for the oil finish since I like the look haha
Ive just always have had gloss so decided it was nice to have some change!
Beautiful! Mun ebony is one of my favorite woods. Every time I see a piece of it, I'm in awe. Hope you have it soon!Another step closer.
Just realized the cavity plate... Whats up with the rectangular hole?Another step closer.
Geoff just told me that those are for the two series/angle/parallel coil switches for the pickups.
Honestly, I don't remember requesting that feature as I really dislike switches on basses.

Gotcha, looking at the electronics, seems the same ones I have and I have 3 switches on front. So prob why he put them in the back so you didnt have them on the face?
Unfortunate you wont get to test it! But also unfortunate that Im already getting 2 more basses from him so I dont have the dough for this oneHi Guys -
Just an FYI - I changed direction. This amazing bass is available to purchase directly from Geoff. It should be completed in the next week or so.
