earthwood bass question

Hi folks,

Been lurking around here for a while now looking for info on Earthwood basses. I'm currently a lutherie student in Glasgow, Scotland and am about to start on a second year project. I thought a large ABG would be a challenge! Have found info and pics on the internet but, as yet, have had no sucess finding bracing details or how the neck was attached.

I could go ahead and make a large X braced instrument but there's no guarantee it would work as well as the Earthwood.

I know there are a few Earthwood owners here - can anyone help me with the info I need? It would be great if someone could take a pic or two of the inside of the instrument (use a digital camera with the flash switched off and use the self timer to take the shot)

all help appreciated,

thanks,

Tim
