No disrespect taken! I've seen some great work done on conklins, that's why i made sure to include the word "dimensions" as opposed to the whole bass. many people love them, but in my opinion their 7's, which are some of the most well known 7s, have much too large of dimensions.

Indeed, that is an opinion we both share.

Very close. I'll post some pictures tonight but it is looking outstanding!

This may end up being my favorite bass of all time.

Brubaker has some competition for that title now! Although, Brad Johnson clearly has the lead on number of basses I would cut a leg off for.

This is just the clear coat before the satin finish. Still looks great.

Yum...birdseye.

 

[jasonmasters]

Dear god... I am so jealous! I want new pics!

 

[jasonmasters]

I freakin love that birds eye

 

[fivestringdan]

Thanks man. I hope the fingerboard will be the "focal point" of the instrument. Also the black hardware creates further contrast as the purpleheart and ash do. At least that was the intent. I'll have to wait and have my girlfriend model it for me to be sure.

I freakin love that birds eye

 

[jasonmasters]

its really one of the best pieces of birds eye i've seen in person

 

[fivestringdan]

You know it's funny I have seen Chris use very different birdseye grain and this is my favorite. I'm glad he used this piece! I'll bet it's sick with a satin finish.

[jasonmasters]

yeah thats what i was thinking! I've seen a lot of birds eye that has lots of eyes, but this piece looks more like little stones in a stream that has ripples coming off of it

 

[smperry]

Man...that birdseye board with the purpleheart is just sick.

 

[fivestringdan]

You NAILED it Jason! Absolutely beautiful!

Thank you very much! I really can't wait to see the back of the body. I love swamp ash and from the pics it looks very pretty. I mean who doesn't like a great piece of ash?

Man...that birdseye board with the purpleheart is just sick.

 

[jasonmasters]

yeah it really provides a nice clean contrast to the deep purple

 

[Solarmist]

That body is just simply stunning! - Bookmarked.

 

[fivestringdan]

Excited is hardly the word I would use...
