I'm out with this new ACG.
Not plugged her in yet, but man alive this is an incredible bass.
VERY VERY happy man right now.
I'm also back in with another ACG underway, a 4 string Recurve Bolt-on, Kingwood Top on Black Limba Body, Ash/Wenge/Ash neck with Wenge Fingerboard

I'm back in the club! A local luthier is building me a 1958-style passive 5-string P-bass. Best of all, he will do an asymmetric neck profile! 
Not sure about turnaround time yet... may depend on finding a gold anodized guard.

Nice! Can't wait to see that!! I have spec'd out a 5 string, 35" scale 58-style P bass with Nino.. I basically want a 5 string version of this:I'm back in the club! A local luthier named Eric Johnson (in Bowie MD, not the TX guitarist) is building me a 1958-style passive 5-string P-bass. Best of all, Eric will do an asymmetric neck profile!

Just FYI, Nino mentioned that anodized guards are hard to find and recommended a brushed gold pickguard.
YES! I've ordered a nice vintage tint for the neck and also the body so the white won't be so white. Eric only sprays nitro, should be awesome.
Nino Valenti was (and still is!) on my short list, but EJ lives just a few miles from me and 4 other local musician friends are repeat customers of his.

Incredible. I love how that body shape turned out, and of course everything else about it screams "amazing" as well. Congrats!
The new build looks pretty fantastic, can't wait to see how that one turns out too.

Does Eric have a website or FB page or something? I'd like to check out his work. As you can imagine, a google search on "eric johnson bass" is not very helpful.
Thanks

Not a bass but I am waiting on a custom cab!! 
I'm not in one either.
...aside from the Darrin Huff wait list: 12.5 years.
But that's not really a "wait list", it's an "I've been totally ripped off" list.

I'm just going to leave this here, hope the link works!

I'm waiting on mods of two Rondo Hadean solid body bass ukuleles. The blue one is being done by Fren Asken here in Los Angeles, the red violin body is being made by Ron Herron of Blue Star Guitar in Michigan (who made my Telecaster style mini bass I posted earlier) using all the existing parts from the sunburst one.

Ooooh. Another great looking ACG. I want my next custom bass to be a 32" scale 6 string so I want to hear about this one!
Very nice!
Thanks, SM, and I just uploaded a new image with block fret markers I'm going to add.
Yup...I assumed this was going to be yours! I can't wait to see that one finished...amazing!!!
