A "I built it myself" walnut P Bass with J pickups. An inlaid figured maple pickguard. Warmoth neck, pau ferro finger board. (Hundreds of hours of work with the most minimal of wood working tools.)

I went thru that too. You have to import your photos into a website such as Photobucket.com (it's free) which then creates the correct addresses for you to export your pictures into TB. It's not hard to do, costs you nothing (but time), and results in the large format photos you see all the time here. No more alloted space restrictions! Check it out ...

That is super awesome!
Thanks. It is kinda pretty, isn't it. Tom finds some very nice pieces. Here's one more shot.
My hanewinckel, walnut top with walnut block inlays in the ebony fretboard.
Looks like builder got his wood ideas from Wal!
any sound clips?
Yeah, his work is amazing! Here is that same bass, nearer to completion. Should be in my hands by the weekend!!
Does this builder have a website?

Very nice. What is the string spacing at the nut and bridge?
Pretty skinny but it works for me and my short/skinny fingers...
8.5 mm at the nut, 15 mm at the bridge. My guess is that it's Karl's standard 4 string neck with the bridge/nut set up for a 5er.
Neck width at the nut is 1.75" (45 mm approx).
