Couch or love seat, THOSE BASSES ARE TOP NOTCH!!!

Thanks!

Yours turned out great, too! The wait was obviously painful, but hopefully it's all worth it now. LOL, is it bad that I just want to see it next to a "normal" bass to see how gigantic it is!?

 

[j-raj]

Haha, ouch.

No- KB waited 10 years to build that dude's bass- but what he didn't do was build the bass then wait years to get around to shipping it.

nice...

Still no update from Jerzy. You don't know how much I want to see just a glimpse of wood porn. He could send me a photo of sawdust and I would be fapping.

I got an email from him today....
.... it was a friend invite for Facebook.
He is teasing me.

I got a new improved photoshop image from thndrstk6 with correct nut color and control knob layout.

(* anyone know why I can't edit my 1st post in my build journal thread?? I would like to switch photoshop images.)

I love this thread.

Having gone through this process, it's great to see the final results and the reactions of the owners.

If you have a build going, stick in there. It'll be worth it in the end.

Not quite a bass, but close. Fanned 7 string acoustic guitar being built by Kevin Robertson of KR Guitars.

Waiting on my Atkinson P. Waiting, waiting...........waiting....

Thanks, SMP!
[Bud's inconvience aside], I'm glad the CAR finish got wrecked and forced the color change.

Quickie review:
> Precise workmanship (bravo Bud).
> Good ergonomics; no neck dive, and its a decent "sitter".
> The bridge PU angle seems to help create a more consistent tone across all 7 strings.
> The 6-Z mode on the Audere Pre provide a lot of usefull sounds. Hardly need the on-board eq.

I hear ya, it did the same for me.

On that note, my two Sadowsky basses are complete and will be shipped next week. The wait is almost over!

I know financial times are hard, but no posts for over 3 months?

Actually, I've got a Roscoe LG3005 fretless (mahogany body, redwood top) in build right now. My second Roscoe, and the third is being formulated too.....

 

[Schlyder]

I should have an update in awhile. I'll be talking to Jerzy in about a 1/2 hour.
The project got held up a bit because of NAMM.

Hey guys,

Thought I'd jump in with some pics of my upcoming May Custom. As you'll see, we're still in the early-goings, but you get the idea. Below are some shots of the body wings. I received the last shot only minutes ago. Let me know what you think!

Hope to have the complete bass by the end of the summer:
