Brownie is getting its neck attached to its body:  It's starting to look like a real bass now! Next stop, final carving. | ||

Its been 6 months and 8 days since I orderd "Brownie." I spend every afternoon sitting on the porch waiting for the stork but he never comes, and I cry myself to sleep every night. | ||

These are from when James was setting up your bass:   Do you want me to post finished pics for you on Monday evening, or do you want the rest to be a surprise? | ||

And most likely, at least several years to come! Looks like a real beauty, very tasteful. I might slightly prefer the back (or should I say the body?), but it's a tough call. Congratulations. | ||

Great looking bass. The walnut looks like its reverberating. Play it in good health. | ||

What combinations of wood were used for the neck of this bass? It looks awesome. | ||

It's Walnut with a touch of Maple. | ||

Wow, so it's all Walnut, with just Maple accents??? I thought some of it might be Pau Ferro, like my custom Excel has. Very sexy, I find myself wanting one just like this now.... | ||

That's the most beautiful Orion I've seen. One overlooked feature of set neck basses is that a book matched to center top is standard. Europa electronics with LEDs? Ouch. Great combination, Joe. |
