18mm Im pretty sure, but I could be mistaken.

That's not bad, it looks a lot closer than that in the pic. Sharp lookin' bass ......... Who's getting that sweetie?

Pete's told me like 10 times, including once today, and I forget hehe. I did hear Pete say the owner would be bringing it to the Dallas Guitar Show this weekend.

Though some may disagree, Bill Conklin wrote the book on 7 string basses... However, I don't think you'd go wrong with any of the builders mentioned.

Its an exotic custom series - offset double cut body shape. Paudak top, Bocote Fingerboard, Spanish Cedar body (I think).

I would add Sei bass to the above list. These basses are up there with the very best.

I'm probably about 2 months out James, maybe a little sooner. Matt just started to radius the board and then the final shaping .....

Pups were just ordered from Dingwall along with the wood covers, still waiting for the Audere pre. Matt located some nice NOS knobs from Larry.

Yeah, we'll be getting together soon ......
