Six strings jazz bass in progress

The pickup spacing seems a little too close?
And not much space for slapping?
What preamp and pickup is going on it mate?

Brandon, you really got shape eyes. the first pup route is a mistake
i got the basic body from scott pazera, which come with two emg pup route, then i have the luthier to put the spalt top on and he is so honest to retain the original route on the top. well.. i think i will cover it up with a bridge, infact i am thinking of just one pup on the sweet spot. it is a 24 fret neck. and they are done seperately. The slap part is a bite tight as shown in the picture. but it will soon be smooth out. do check out the post by rusty, our singapore super youth who also has a fretless jazz preparing by the same luthier! will keep you guys update

Drool. 
I'll give you my address, you can send it to me.
Do you have pictures of other basses you have completed?

Just received the call from the luthier, the bass is ready.
once i receive the bass, i will get some more detail review, plus i will still need some pups for it. anyone of you interested, keep track
TB rule no.1 - no pics no bass

It's gonna rock!!
That's going to be one nice looking bass, but, for some reason, the length of the neck that extends over the body bothers me.
Yeah! A big progress during Chinese New Year Holiday, my spalted top jazz 6 has been done, more pics to come
Fat dude(me) who had too much oily food plus a nice bass.. can you see the fodera at back..?

My little idea:
What would be even better is to radius the edges a little more intensely to get a smoother feel than the average J-bass, perhaps even to the point where you get a little bit of an outline of the body wood to make that spalt really pop. Add a few coats of high-gloss finish... oh man.
EDIT: Oops, see you're already kind of done with it. Looks nice!
