After 3 weeks of cleaning, polishing, soldering, adjusting, and inlay cutting, I feel like it is finally worthy to post here with the other great basses.

Nice!!!!
Long or medium scale???
Anyway ...it looks just as one of those basses used in early guitarplayer Alembic ads.

Paul- It is a medium scale. I bought a spoiler a few months ago and I am hooked on medium scales. I have short, stubby, vienna sausage-size fingers and I can actually reach across five frets on these necks. Once I've gone medium I can never go back!

P.S. Dave- thanks for your editting skills.

What a beautiful bass. It looks like it came straight from the factory. I bet it sounds even better than it looks.
