Thank you…he was my bestest boi, and I was his person.
Going forward, all of my builds will be functional works of art. I feel very strongly that Morrell Roberts is an artist, and I’m grateful to have him a collaborator and co-conspirator.

Oh man, you’ve about got me. If I can ever get done with what I’m working on I’ve got another body that I’ve been thinking about doing up in the Gulf Racing livery.
THANKS!!! 
In other news, an M-Type bass in 32” scale is in the works.

I’m going to focus on graphic finishes exclusively for my bodies going forward. The first series will feature racing-inspired colorwways. The black body will get an offset white stripe with gold trim (Racing Black), and the red body will get an offset white stripe with black trim (Racing Red). These will be offered in addition to the Racing Blue and Racing Green colorways shown previously.
Wes Sharon of 115 Recording shared his two Lowe Custom Guitars basses. “I own a few dozen basses and these are my favorites now, and my clients are loving them, too.” Thanks, Wes!
Another racing livery. Things are coming together.
More racing liveries, sprayed and wet-sanded. Racing Black and Racing Red with Moe Colors.
The time has come for the Classic headstock shapes to be offered for six-string guitar.
Along with my 8-string and 10-string bridges, I’m having pickup rings and control plates manufactured in Korea by BooHeung. My goal is to offer the pieces to other builders and DIY guys. It helps to have a router template. Mike Breedlove of MGB Guitars laser cut these for me. That’s another piece of the puzzle I’m trying to solve.
Exciting news! I bought out the remaining stock of the Lowe Custom Guitars/Allparts JRF-RM-CONV necks and I am letting them go at a substantial discount. This is the best value ever offered in a 32” scale conversion neck. When they’re gone, they’re gone!

David Blimmel’s Chromasonic bass is the inspiration and the prototype for the new series of racing-livery finishes.

I’m excited about adding the M-Type to the portfolio. This will be offered in 32”/34” scale bass guitar format and 25.5” six-string guitar format. The rendering is by Bass & Guitar Hub @bassguitarhub on Instagram.
I’m loving this 8-string build with my bridge by Beardly Customs @beardlycustoms. Sweet!

Brad,My greatest challenge in recent years has been lack of available inventory. I’m working to close that gap.
I was looking at your used bodies and 8-string necks. Are they compatible with each other? Of course I would need a different bridge. Thinking about this.

Yes, @slowburnaz, thanks for pointing that out! The talent and collaboration that has developed from this forum is truly amazing!
Brad,

My 4-string and 8-string necks are compatible with vintage-spec bodies (P&J-Type) with 2 1/2” neck pockets. My 5-string necks are compatible with the “5-string MIM” spec. The 8-string bridge is a drop-in replacement for a vintage 5-screw P&J-Type bridge.
