Double Bass I was shopping for an igloo

[Hogslapper]

i’ve been stretching the strings with the kids and “fiddling” with details on the AS:
Rubbed a satin finish with just a dab of color to enrich the patina

Carved the neck to a final profile and oiled the neck

Fabricated an endpin from an estate sale find

Nextime I have the tension off the tail cable gets a trim and heat shrink tubing.

Nice! And it makes it match the dog even more! Sweet face on that little guy...

 

[Don Hergert]

Great work! How does she sound?

 

[Hogslapper]

Lol!
It’s the best sounding bass I’ve ever played!
Honestly,I have so little experience with other instruments, and the operator is such a greenhorn, I probably am a poor judge.
Compared to my Engehardt, it’s far deeper and rounder, with clearer definition, Are those good adjectives?
It’s strung with a new set of Zyex, so I think its still changing, although it’s staying in tune pretty well.
