CUSTOM BASS ALERT! IT'S TAKING SHAPE!

And another shot of the top:

Not bad at all! I agree with Pilot (who has one of my favorite, ongoing build threads, btw) that this looks artfully done without a trussrod cover.

And, Musiclogic, are you implying that the builder of this bass works for Guitar Center, or am I misreading you? I'd be shocked. Might even have to get in touch with this guy.

Looks nice -- colors and binding are great (and I'm usually not too taken by binding).

No Implication Mark, Shawn was a Manager with GC, I believe, but worked for GC back when I worked for them, and I believe he is still with GC. He's a great guy, and does gorgeous work as you can see. I don't know if GC allows him to talk shop there (they are horribly ridiculous about crap like that) but definitely get in touch with him if you are looking for something and are in the Detroit area. Shawn does great work.

And yep, it's looking great.
