That's awesome!
And a couple nice cameos of your bass!

 

[BTL]

It was a really special event...LOTS of fun!

The CAD program on the Ridler is finished, now it's off to CNC:

 

[DerekW]

Hot!

Aaron Akers of Four Star Riot (http://www.fourstarriot.com/) is the newest player to add a Chromasonic IV to his arsenal:

Today is a very big day in my world:

Fresh off the CNC.

Before final contour sanding.

These necks have been waiting patiently for a while now.

That is awesome to hear Brad, also happy birthday from a few days ago.

Any chance for a picture at an angle to see the forearm contour?

And I'm curious about the 2x2 headstock choice instead of the 4 inline.

 

[Splods]

Can someone with decent photoshop skills please overlay this design this one over another bass starting with an R. I want to see how different they are. Cheers

Fresh off the CNC.

These necks have been waiting patiently for a while now.

I am loving the body shape on this one!

Any updates on the Ridler???

 

[BTL]

Ridler #1 is in paint, and should be heading my way shortly.

In the meantime, #020 is off to Australia:

Here is the next one in the queue, a Thund-R-Luxe goldtop with walnut toner and faux binding over lightweight swamp ash.

Here is the current gallery shot, the cupboard is bare:

Here's the last one for 2014...a gold top Thund-R-Luxe with a one-piece swamp-ash body, maple neck with macassar ebony board, & white pearl dots.

The pickups are Lollar Thunderbirds and the paint is by Jim Jaeger at Roxy finishes.

I used Chet Johnson's neck mounting bolt kit on this one and I'm sold.

I won't be going back to traditional wood screws for the instruments I build.

 

[jdb72]

Super sweet !!!!
Finally something that looks better than a Les Paul in a gold top!!!!

 

[BTL]

I agree.

The goldtop is just perfect on this.

 

[Means2nEnd]

That gold top is stunning but all awesome builds!

 

[BTL]

Jim at Roxy Guitar Finish does exceptional work.

He did the finishes on 026, 022, 021, and 018.

 

[Barnaby]

Really impressive builds - I love your designs and clean lines. This is a great use of CNC engineering, too.

 

[DerekW]

Lovin the goldtop!!!

Wow, my dream bass right there!
