Custom Bass Wait Support Group Needed!!! [Part 2]

[routasydän]

That's what your ears are for! Even lines aren't exactly in tune.

Yep, i'm pretty sure that if you just dare to try it and give it some time and practice it will come naturally. And as i said, the side dots help also quite a bit.

 

[Carver]

I'm out! (For now! )

 

[Angus]

First class insanity. Congrats!

Routasydän, Another nice bass, congrats!
I can imagine some fun stuff with fretless/whammy bar combo.
Putting out customs that fast at those prices, AVguitars is doing something right!

Carver, Add that one to the top of the good-as-it-gets list!

Just hit the 20 month mark on my laggan.
Like a lot of one man operations, Russ has been forced into very-part-time mode.
Still, the end is getting closer.
Got some picks of the bass drying with one of its many coats of finish.

Wow! Looks very classy, but 20 months

Looks superb !!

No doubt it will be well worth the wait!!

 

[DEVILMAN]

Trust me, 20months is nothing of a wait compaired to getting a piece that(hopefully)will fill you with joy every time you play it & fit you like a glove...

IMO,

Actually I did my math wrong.
My first post of start-of-work was (1-12-07); 7 months ago, which came one year after my deposit (details of the lagtime in the link).
So its a 19 month wait.
I can understand your thinking thats long, given you've already had two basses built in '07.
I'll spare repeating the details, but Murphy's law has been omni-present for this build.
Think I might have the thing shipped in a vault when its finished.

Stewmc, 7 string, DEVILMAN;
I really appreciate the kind words and encouragment.

I'm in. Started a thread here:http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=320682

Estimated build time: two months or so

Ok, it took a bit longer than the optimistic estimate, but it's on the way and will be here in a week!

Wenge inlays, interestingly enough I got these pics the same day Wilser had a bad dream and was punching in his sleep....wenge inlays must be a pain

That right there looks incredible!

[bluerimedeyes]

Did that sound too sexual? Anyway, I finally sent the deposit on my Valenti, yesterday!!!

Sorry, let me say this properly:

Hi, my name is Ron, and I am waiting for a custom/boutique bass.

Ouch! I hate when that happens. (Not being a smart-a55, happened with my laggan 7)

The other woods are yellowheart/maple right? That will be one intense axe!
As thay say in the graphics business, that will really "read".
