Another progress pic showing the ash against the roasted flame maple.

Crazy the flame looks that good when it's roughed up. Gonna be insane when it's buffed and stained.

Weight without the hardware and electronics (I need lightweight basses):

Dang. did you ask for lightweight? Or it just came through that way. what's the body wood again?

 

[LowWay]

I asked for light weight. The body is his lightest piece of swamp ash. I have 4 bordwells in my collection under 7 pounds.

Ready for final sanding and finish.

I wish I could hear these things separately... strings/pickups/preamp/roasted neck.

But all together it sounds great!

Congrats Dude! Can you post sound clips when you have time?

I have a project that's getting Turners, I'm super excited.

Yes, I will definitely post sounding clips when I get some time. I am so excited to get this thing. I can’t wait for delivery.

When is your shipping date? Wonder if he sends all 4 out at once or staggers them.
