Great Odin's Raven! That is beautiful!
Seriously, you should consider being a luthier, I'd certainly be interested!
From top to bottom: Ibanez GWB1, Börjes JB5 Custom, Blade B3 and my diy-70s JB.
Becoming a luthier doesn't pay the bills and finance my hobby's as easy as my current daytime job does. I prefer to build basses for fun, not for money.

Great pile of basses ! How do you like the Blade? I have one just like yours
please tell more about Börjes? z
Thank you zbigniew! I've owned the Blade for about 18 years now, it has been my main instrument for quite some time. It took me some time to get used to the weight of the bass (probably due to the maple body) but I immediately fell for the neck; it's really comfortable and fast.Great pile of basses !

The Börjes is a handmade bass from Germany. I think it's a great instrument; a big piece of ash for a body, beautiful bird's eye maple for the neck and fretboard. The pickups are Delano's, the bridge is ABM I think and the machine heads are Hipshot Ultralites. Its electronics I believe to be Glockenklang. Very deep sounding, but also potentially very bright and responsive. This bass is also on the heavy side but very playable!
Some more pictures:
Thanks for the reply BassKees
That Börjes is quite an instrument!I agree with you on the Blade, it is a little on the heavy side and has the best Jazz neck I have played.

Arrived this morning! My first bass, and I'm so new to it that I couldn't tell you what open note each of the strings play 
.
I'm looking forward to having quite a lot of fun
.
This is a grand unveiling, of sorts.
