ShergoldSnickers Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 That really is some beast. Makes my 5 string Marseer look really skinny. . The body shape works really well with that width of neck, better than a lot of other designs I've seen. Quote

Also Jake from quality control was just giving it a quick check over to see if dad was doing his job properly! Edited January 18, 2014 by captainhaddock Quote

captainhaddock Posted December 3, 2013 Author Posted December 3, 2013 (edited) Hi all some more pictures for you showing the new profile to the top cut away Edited January 18, 2014 by captainhaddock Quote
captainhaddock Posted December 5, 2013 Author Posted December 5, 2013 Cheers mate,all the positive comments mean a lot to me and I'm glad you all like the build! Quote
rk7 Posted December 6, 2013 Posted December 6, 2013 Is that a more extensive cutaway than the norm? The body shape is so in-proportion with the wide 8-string neck. Very cool. It looks fabulous, like the rest of the bass. RK (been quiet for a day or two - auditioning!) Quote

rk7 Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 More gold than Fort Knox! Awesome! One step nearer, Captain- might it be under the tree on Xmas morning? Great work as always RK Quote

Great work as always RK [/quote] Yeah its getting there Robbie has still got to finish fitting the frets when he gets some more fret wire! The body still has some more work to do on the profile and the final sanding needs doing then it has got to go for refinishing. Should be done sometime in new year Quote
captainhaddock Posted December 13, 2013 Author Posted December 13, 2013 All the frets are fitted and are now ready for shaping/dressing Quote
