Just a few coats of satin black left to do then this one gets the same pinstriping treatment. This one has an ebony board as opposed to the maple board on the five string.

I'm working on it. I did some work on the neck last week. I've been busy so it got put on the back burner for a while. I'm trying to get some money rolling in so I can get a Hipshot whammy bar for it.

Ha! Awesome, I thought you might like that idea
Holy crap!
As the current (ab)user of the 5 string I gotta say it's pretty awesome.
I gotta say though, I totally love the maple board, the contrast it gives on the black body is beautiful.

Mmmhmm. Courtesy of Todd at EWB...well not really. I had to pay for it...more like Ben had to pay for it.
FWIW, that bass sounds suhweet. I love them Dark Stars.
I just read this thread for the first time, skimmed right through. +1 on all the compliments.
I just really liked watching the two year grafitti-like progression of the patterns left in the worktable as the bodies were cut.
Art as a by-product of art. And work. wow.

The first and last pics are actually two different sacrificial work surfaces. I'm ready for another. I'm starting to get the wobbles. The bass with the flamed top is SN 50. Looks like you can only get about 25 basses out of one surface.
hey...did you get your new lecompte, yet?
review, pics, soundclips, tour of Central Queensland
...come on....come on...
