I doubt it’ll get used at the Dog and Duck 🤣 Sorry I hope that my comment didn't come across as me being rude because I would give my right nut scratch that both nuts to own a bass like that but I just love Black limba.......... 😀 2 Quote

Is there any chance of you posting a couple of frame grabs please? It's lovely. PS: Just saw the image of the top after I posted. As you were. It's fanflippingtastic!

Merton Posted June 3, 2019 Author Posted June 3, 2019 It’s almost finished! We’ve been having fun with the switching of the pickup, the original 5-way rotary switch turned out to be a bad idea so we’ve gone to two toggle switches. I can’t remember what they actually do so will let you know once I have the bass... Today Phil has basically finished her in terms of doing an initial stringing to let everything settle and acclimatise. In about a week he’ll give it the final intonation, truss rod and action tweaks. So we’re nearly there. And to celebrate...: 6 Quote
