Looks fantastic mate - it looks as though it will exhibit a lovely deep tone with excellent `swell' to the notes! That pickup looks very potent - whats it made from (housing)

Cheers - and great to hear from you - can you believe E Basses is ten years old now!!!

[quote name='Mike' post='865133' date='Jun 12 2010, 12:51 PM']Wow, looks great. I'd love to hear sound clips and see a price at some point![/quote]
Thanks Mike i'll get round to soundclips eventually.
I started making these because i always fancied playing/building one and had a nice plank of mahogany in the shed.
Now, i never get round to playing it because i've sinced gathered another spare plank so ......

Not really my intention to go into full scale production so i should have something available
for sale by the end of summer..ish. :)
