Heastock veneer glue-up.

Perhaps not as interesting, but I like them.

More to come, I'm sure.

Here is a shot of the knobs. The bottoms are going to get tapered off a bit. I was kind of unsure of this, I like them the way they are, but I think a little off the widest part at the bottom will look better. Sheldon seems to agree.

All right....that did it.....
I'm getting on that plane and coming over to your place --right now.
You have matched wooden knobs, lemme guess....matching pickup covers too?

i think the knobs need to be tapered a bit more, they look a bit out of sorts at this width
Keep the photos coming

that bass will be incredible!!

 

[BTBbassist]

Thats the glossiest bass I've seen in a long time. Absoluetely stunning...really.

Keep us posted, definately one of the nicest basses I've seen so far. Wow.

 

[adrian garcia]

possibly the most beautifull bass on TB !! i truly congratulate Sheldon and you!!

 

[pilotjones]

Geoff, that thing is more fantastic every time I see it. Just gorgeous. Maybe good enough to turn around this latest trend toward satin-oil finishes, too.

 

[WinterBass]

I love it!

 

[Jeff in TX]

Wow. Outstanding workmanship! Hope other luthiers are paying attention to this thread.

Can't wait to see the finished product.

Geoff,
I think you know how much you are KILLING the rest of with this thread, but keep it up, It's possibly my favorite thread ever.
Here's a question, are the knobs going to be shiny like the rest of the top? They look rather dull in comparison. Pretty, but dull.

Mark

 

[Geoff St. Germaine]

The knobs will be clear coated like the rest of the body. In that picture they are oiled, but haven't been clear coated. Thanks for the replies. I can't wait to get it.

[Geoff St. Germaine]

Alright, Sheldon revamped the knobs and they are quite a bit different now. I prefer the new ones quite a bit to the old.
