Amazing!!! 36 positions, right? Wow!!It's finished.... Getting shipped tomorrow. In my hands sometime next week.
Yes, I did change from a neck-through. I already have a neck-through fretless, so I decided to go with a bolt on for some contrast.
Very cool man, it looks spectacular, I'd like to see some pics once you get it in your hands!
I don't think there are many of these basses in Canada, and I really doubt there are more than a handful in Saskatchewan- if any at all!
Jerzy said is was shipping out on Friday... a few more days and it will be in my hands. 
I'm dying here.

Looks fantastic; very clean, elegant and understated.
I notice that you went with the old style one-piece control cover. I think that was a good choice, aesthetically. The new two-piece cover arrangement seems a bit cluttered to me, and removing two extra screws once a year or so to change the battery is an equitable trade-off for the clean appearance.
That extra fingerboard octave offers some great creative possibilities if your intonation skills are up to the task, and as a nice ergonomic bonus, it makes a damn fine ramp for your right hand.
Congrats! I hope it's everything you're looking for.

Yes that is the look I was going for. Clean, organic flowing lines... some understated elegance... You could play it wearing a tuxedo and it would be stylin'. And yes, I wanted the one piece wood cover just to keep the look clean. And once I get the black bridge/tailpiece it will look even better. But the chrome doesn't look bad either.
It's in Canada... but hasn't cleared Customs yet. >:\ So it looks as though it will be Monday until I can hold and play it, finally.

If you haven't yet, you need to post this over in the "Most Elegant Basses ... " thread. Truly a work of art. Congratulations - I hope the morning brings it your way.
Here is a sound clip of the bass.
thru a Trace Elliot AH250 GP12smx .. post EQ/ xlr output to a ZoomR24 MT recorder. Signal is dry, and flat with just a little mid cut.

Wow! Absolutely beautiful but not ostentatious looking (which must be a hard thing to do with a fretless 6er), and it sounds amazing! But your playing might have something to do with that too...
Enjoy it!
Enjoy it!
