Every time I go into the shop, there's your bass, with something interesting happening to it. First, the laminates before glue up: Flooded with acetone, you get a sneak peek at the finished appearance, though Redwood usually isn't quite as dark with the finish as it is with the solvent. Here's the top after gluing the bookmatch the center: Meanwhile, the neck was constructed: Then the pieces came together: During the early carving stage: Next stop will be routing then finish, then the big wait. Hope these photos will ease some of the anxiety during that time. davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 6406 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Monday, March 31, 2008 - 9:47 pm:    That side picture is pretty neat; nice combination of woods! Looking forward to seeing the finished Burl Redwood.

And while this bass closely resembles Michael's bass, this one isn't his! I'll start a new thread for it later. bassjigga Advanced Member Username: bassjigga Post Number: 357 Registered: 8-2005 Posted on Tuesday, June 16, 2009 - 3:33 pm:    Was this one ever done? It'd be great to see with finish. 3rd_ray Advanced Member Username: 3rd_ray Post Number: 205 Registered: 2-2008 Posted on Tuesday, June 16, 2009 - 3:48 pm:    I'd love to see this one too! It would make a great pair with this one. (Unfortunately, that's not in my future... anytime soon anyway. But I'd still love to see it!)

(See my post above.) I wish I could have both. I'm still happy with mine, but this one sure looks awesome, and I think I know how it sounds.
