Johnny Ace studios used to do the scrolls. I'm not sure who does them now. The guys there are really cool. I'm sure if you called or emailed them, they could give you more info.

Will this one rate?

Carving the decoration in the back of the scroll.

The main problem I have had is that the carving gets very "chippy" near the edges and is easily damaged.

It will probably sort out when I get all the edges nicely rounded and chamfered.

Nice lion head in the begining of this shot...



Anyone have any pics of this bass?????

 

[Matthew Tucker]

Yeah lovely scroll that one ... and I can see TWO lions heads ... and Oooh there's another cornerless in there too!

Great photo Matthew. These guys have the promo thing down cold! Four cool basses too.

The tailpiece on the larger Gamba looks familiar to me somehow.
Am I seeing a savage scar on the face of the smaller Gamba-shaped bass? It looks like a cross-grain crease.....

It looks like a cross-grain crease.....

Or just a bad reflection.

What I love most about the double bass is so nicely captured in this photo. Viva Variety!!!
