Looks great! It reminds me of one of Entwistle's Alembics. That's a look I've considered for a custom build. Enjoy!

The other nice thing about the flat sawn top is there is much more strength at the output jacks. Less prone to cracking if stressed.

That's a gorgeous bass and, of course, it sounds as good as it looks. Great score.
