LVG Handcrafted (New build) Tutorial and some things to consider.

My newest build took just over a month to just about complete. I did things a little bit differently adding an angled wedge under the neck joint to get the neck to lay back toward the player. In holding it, it feels excellent! Another thing I am doing this time around is using brass alloy frets for the first time. The guys that play Warwick basses seem to really like them so I figured I would give them a whirl. Any opinions on these? The electronics are going to be the EMG 35DC with the BTC system. Has anybody played the DCX's yet? As always my basses are built with perfectly quartersawn neck blanks and the basses themselves weigh almost nothing. This build came in at 6.2 lbs with the Kahler Tremolo. Any comments or questions, just ask. This bass is looking for a home in the next couple of weeks.
