Beautiful

Lucky man! Seeing works-in-progress makes me very antsy for my Mk I. I keep hoping to catch a glimpse in the background.

When I paid a visit to HQ around this time last year to pick up my MK3 sixer I'm sure I saw around half a dozen necks with M.Dixon penciled on them... how many do you have on order?

Half a dozen! Blimey, I do have a Mk I on order as well, but that is some months away.

Here are the Mk IIIs ready for collection

What a pair

I think when my fretless sixer arrives next year, the next build will have to be a 4 string MK3...

What have you got there? American Walnut and Sycamore?

Perhaps I was seeing double... it was a Saturday so there is a fair chance rum was involved somewhere along the line...

[Mark Dixon]

Ebony f/board, Mahogany core, Claro Walnut for the fretless and Figured Sycamore for the fretted..

Wonderful... Are you going down yourself to collect them?

[Mark Dixon]

Sadly no, work has seen to that. They are being shipped. You can imagine the excitement building...

I can indeed... It's the side product of such a long build time!

Be sure to post up a thread about them when they arrive... with lots of pics for us to drool over.

Congratulations. When you tire of that maple one on the left I'd like first dibs. I'm sure we can do a deal.

Oh my......

[franzbassist]

I have to say the Mk III body shape is pretty much the perfect design of any bass for me. That walnut in particular looks amazeballs
