I learned my lesson long ago when I posted how Pete always gives me great wood without thinking about it ahead of time. It's your turn this time.What, no 'wood' reference?? You're slipping.

It's all about the groove!

... Pete always gives me great wood.....It's your turn this time.
Really, Vic, I'm not that good looking. I don't think I can do it.
I never thought that I'd go ga-ga over a bass top, but some of the basses in the newest batch are breathtaking. I went with a bit 'simpler' top, but if I ever get another, I will have to have a nice and crazy facing.
Anyone get any updates?

speaking of wood... here's mine!
Is it too early to call dibs, in the unlikely event that you would ever part with that yet to be made bass?
No, seriously. I want dibs.
Tom.

Well, Tom, how about "...when you pry it from my cold, dead, hands... "?
Specs are:
Model = Custom 5 std 92
swamp ash body
spalted maple top
3-pc neck
Optional cocobolo FB
2- SC-1 pickups
Audere pre
Black hardware
Yeah, I am somewhat of a gear slut, but something tells me this one's gonna live at my house a long time. But if the IRS ever comes after my house, then I'll call you first, bro.
and I think I've owned almost all of the good Dr.'s cast offs... some might fine basses.
I'm guessing though, that this Skjold will be with you for a long while.
Yep, I've been the enabler for more than one good man's "habit"... I look on it as just spreadin' a little joy around!

I want second dibs after Tom. That top is to live for! I can't wait to see and hear it when it's complete.
Curiously,why the Audere preamp?
I have one in a DJ5, and I like the subtlety of the adjustments. I frankly never use the neck or bridge pickups soloed, and prefer the Z-mode tonal palette over the East sweepable mid control.
