steve Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 that grains really nice, reminds me of a fractal kind of thing Quote
JackLondon Posted April 3, 2009 Author Posted April 3, 2009 Right, Some more work done and as you can see the bass is coming around beautifully Enjoy [attachment=23263:shaped.jpg] [attachment=23260:rounded1.jpg] [attachment=23261:rounded2.jpg] [attachment=23262:rounded3.jpg] Quote

I look forward to seeing the end result. M Quote

M[/quote] It is indeed but look closely at the bass in the back, this looks awesome as well Just a close up for the guys who like a nice top [attachment=23960:roundedwal1.jpg] I think it's quite stunning as well Cheers Jack Quote
7string Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 I haven't heard of this builder before (maybe I should get out more) but the basses look wonderful. Quote
JackLondon Posted May 11, 2009 Author Posted May 11, 2009 Not a lot but the scarf joint has been done and Jon said he'll have more pics this week. At the moment the headstock veneers are being glued on as well. [attachment=25032:jdscarf.jpg] Quote
JPJ Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 Wow this is one tasty looking build. I'm really loving that top and I hope thats going to get a suitably deep high gloss finish too? I think that body shape should work really well too. Novel enough to stand out but practical enough for a gigging workhorse. I have this dream of a ten string (2 courses of five) and I think it would work really well with that body shape as the elongated top horn would help compensate for all the tuner hardware. Nice build, looking forward to seeing more of this one. Quote
JackLondon Posted May 12, 2009 Author Posted May 12, 2009 A small update, The headstock veneers have been glued on... Redwood front and back, with thin black veneers in between [attachment=25084:jacksheadstock.jpg] Quote
peted Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 That looks very neat and clean for a progress shot. Very impressive. Quote

Should hopefully end up looking like this : [attachment=25089:fire.jpg] Quote

JackLondon Posted June 2, 2009 Author Posted June 2, 2009 Not a lot of an update but the fretboard has been slotted to take the frets ) [attachment=26430:Fretboard.jpg] Quote
JackLondon Posted June 4, 2009 Author Posted June 4, 2009 A proper update now The body has been routed and carved [attachment=26517:Body.jpg] The fretboard has been attached to the neck [attachment=26520:Neck.jpg] The veneers for headstock are in place [attachment=26518:Headstock.jpg] And a mock-up of the bass (there's no neck pocket yet) [attachment=26519:Mock_up.jpg] Can't wait for it to be finished ETA - Next month Cheers Jack Quote

And is that central route for a ramp? Looking good! Mikey Quote

Mikey[/quote] Hi Mikey, There's no such thing as dumb questions It will be bolt-on and yes the central route is for a fully adjustable ramp which will be made of the same ebony as the fretboard. Cheers Jack Quote
EBS_freak Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 Aye. That be looking grand. That red finish should look very tasty. Quote
JackLondon Posted June 10, 2009 Author Posted June 10, 2009 Again not a lot of update but some hardware has been delivered [attachment=26833:hardware.jpg] Quote
Mikey R Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Is that a big split and a humbucker? Good choice - which way round are you gonna use them? Quote
JackLondon Posted June 10, 2009 Author Posted June 10, 2009 Yeah, it's a Big Split and Fat Stack. I really like thier sound and coupled with the Aguilar pre it should sound lush. I'll keep a secret on which way they will be used Wait untill it's done ei Quote
