I agree, very clean work. Classic is exactly what came to my mind too. Very nice jobAaaah!.....Classic....Tasteful....
Hopefully I'm doing this right (I've never uploaded an audio file before). I recorded some today, bass directly into my tc wiretap pedal. Same line over and over

The problem with getting done early is that I've been watching everyone else and thinking I should still be working. So, I had this idea... anyone want to guess what I'm up to?

Problem was, finding a case to fit a 30" bass isn't exactly easy. So why not keep the theme going and make a matching case, hickory sides, walnut (ply) top and bottom.

Out of clamps
And thru the table saw to cut apart the top from the bottom. Then glued in eighth inch thick strips to keep it straight when it's closed

Fitting butterfly hinges
Latches, and a handle. Couldn't find a handle I liked so I cut a leather strap and made walnut end pieces
it sits flat when not in use

Slow down, or you’ll be finished tomorrow, and still bored until the 21st! I suppose you could always spend that time making a matching 8x10 cab and an amp head case...

Now what to do? Perhaps I'll take some scraps and cut a few picks.

Walnut guitar stand? Engraved walnut plate with the company logo and bass' name for the interior and exterior of the case? Rotating walnut display stand for the bass and the case?
