B E A UTIFUL

Got some more done so thought I'd better put some more pix up.
There is still a lot of sanding to do so ignore the rough edges etc

[size="3"][color="#000000"][font="Calibri"]That’s simply beautiful, I love the details looks very classy but sort of clean and un-fussy [/font][/color][/size]
[size="3"][color="#000000"][font="Calibri"]Is that a veneer over a scratchplate? [/font][/color][/size]
[size="3"][color="#000000"][font="Calibri"]Sending PM regarding something similar [/font][/color][/size]

Hi Jazzybass

Thanks - the scratchplate is 4 layers of veneer, 2 maple in the middle and rosewood on top and bottom.

thats just simply amazing. Its awesome the way the scratchplate matches the inlays

Thanks - all the dark wood is indian rosewood which has a light purple tint, looks great in real life. Cant wait to finish this one

[Rumple]

That looks amazing so far Dave, I might have to have a play of that one when it's finished

Hi mate - it's already sold so cant promise anything... I'm missing your overwater, can I have it back??

[Rumple]

The Overwater is up for sale Whatever I do I can't get away from the fact I like MM necks and preferably in maple so even though the Perception is now fretted I still don't play it.

I went to see Dave this afternoon about possibly having a bass made, I saw this one and I've gotta say it looks even better in the flesh!
Possibly one of the best looking basses I've ever seen, and to think its going to be even better when it's all finished
