RIM Custom 8 string Swallowtail Marseer for David

[Phendyr_Loon]

This is an awesome build, I love the wood selection. Although I've no need for a 8 string, this thread makes me want one.

No such thing as a flat radius.

Thanks for your positive comments,
I don't really need a 8 string but wanting one is a different matter

I've liked every RIM bass I've seen. I don't like the heel on this one at all though.
