Finished Pics! Single Cut 5-string Short Scale

Balances nicely on the strap.  This is a slippy seat-belt-material type strap but, even with "look no hands", it stays exactly where you want it to suit your playing style:

And we have sounds....and LEDs  :)

So just the final setup, which I will do tomorrow.  Time for a cup of tea :)

Set up is almost done.  It plays nicely.  With the action set at a pretty low 1.0mm - 1.7mm there is just one high spot (14th fret A string) that will just need a couple of minutes of the micro-web to sort and no other buzzes at all.

I've secured the battery (a couple of silicone-tubed screws keep it in its chamber) and added the all important label:

Still left to do is the nut, a bit of final tidying up on the fretboard, the high spot on the 14th, final polish and then in its case ready for the hand over :)

Oh...but just before that, the final arty farty shots :D

Oof! 😍

That purple heart is to die for.

Hopefully @Matt P will provide us with some sound clips once he's taken possession. 🤞

I Just hope my playing can do it justice! i might need a couple of weeks of practice before i make any sound clips public.

Actually 😆

 

I can't imagine how it must feel - when it's all done, and looks so amazing - to come into a room the very next day, with that bass (or any of the other builds Andy has done in fact) in the corner of the room glinting at you, and knowing...

 

 

...I did that 🤩

 

Awesome 👌🏼

well, the Day has come! at 3:30 this afternoon I met up with Andy in a services and took possession of the bass.

It's stunning, the balance is perfect and the neck is absolutely spot on.

It's getting a first run out tomorrow morning at church, I'll report back but so far I'm over the moon!
