Wow, awesome, Mark. I’m glad you’re giving it some mileage in every sense of the word. Man, my hands are itching for some splintersGood to hear from you, Wilser. The headless, fretless six-string has been around the world and is still going strong.

I can't like this post enough. Really looking forward to your (eventual) return to building. Love your work.Sorry bro. Ahtur’s bass was the last one finished and had to return deposits/parts/etc for everything else that was in progress after that point. I still have boxes with the incomplete bodies, necks and some of the more specialized tools, jigs and templates I made for my basses hoping to be able to re-open at some point in the future, but stars have not yet aligned for that to happen. I may finish Chris’ P inspired CC this year as all it needs is some small final shaping tweaks and sanding I can do without any tools, basically sandpaper, but I’ve been putting it off all these years for fear of getting nostalgic about the work and then depressed that I can’t really do it like I used to.
Mark my words, though, one day you will log in to TB, navigate to luthier’s corner and see a brand spanking new build thread full of mid-humpy goodness!
Keep rockin’!

SoonI'm not holding my breath, but I sure hope Wilser comes out of retirement some day. He was on my short list of builders for my next bass before he closed up shop.
John 7.6.OK........ so......
