I'm watching this thread closely. I've got a Gecko 5 on the way and could use some pointers.

Hey Bernard-

Keep me posted on how the build goes and let me know if you have questions. I'll be putting up more progress pics and updates all weekend.

More elbow grease. Sanding first coat of polyurethane.

Sanding away, but unfortunately I have no idea who that is on the TV:

VERY unglamorous looking right now:

It might be ugly right now, but at least it's smooth:

More pictures!!!

Sanding between coats

In Dusty we Trusty

And more sanding

And more polyurethane

Shining up nicely

I can't believe the mahogany under the laminate - it's like GOLD

Getting closer!

Fitting the logo decal to the headstock

Looks good!

 

[CBRStingray]

It's looking fantastic! The mahogany was a great choice.

 

[Sterling_Bass]

The bass looks amazing. The finish looks as good as the high end builders.

 

[MrSexy]

Gorgeous so far

 

[Lonnybass]

Thanks!!! I'm quite pleased with how it's looking.

How do you go about making your own decals mate. They came out great!

 

[BillyB_from_LZ]

More pictures!!!

....And more polyurethane...

Any complaints from the neighbors due to odors?

Do you get to keep the "bass wall" after the big day?

I never liked the Dinky J shape, until I opened this thread. I can't wait to see it completed, it looks amazing.

 

[Nino Valenti]

That's coming together really nicely. Sweet.

Nope BillyB, we get a lovely lake breeze up here on the 19th floor and my place is April fresh as ever!

And yes, I will most definitely be allowed to keep the Wall of Bass after Nov. 3...it's just a matter of which room is gonna get it!

Per my earlier post in this thread, you can use a graphic design/layout program combined with whatever fonts/styles you like. Buy a couple sheets of blank laser decal paper from the local hobby shop - they go in the manual feed tray of your printer. Then just print off your design, spray it with a decal sealer, let it dry and they are good to go. Only a few steps more than when I used to make model airplanes as a kid.

This is where the magic happens:

Impressive looking, isn't it!

Still got a long ways to go.

I'd love to attach the neck and body, but that would be rushing it.

great build...... nice house. I love Modern.

 

[Mr_Dave]

It looks fantastic man - looking forward to seeing more pics!

The photos in this thread don't do Lonny's place justice. Gorgeous inside and you can see Lake Michigan and Wrigley Field from the roof top deck! And then there's the "bass wall"!

Great! I guess that we'll be having the next Chicago GTG at Lonnies place!

Sounds good! I'm sure the old codger who lives on the floor below me won't mind at all!!! Especially when he sees 50+ gig bags and a warehouse worth of backline being carted up to the 19th floor.
