Frank Blank Posted September 6, 2022 Posted September 6, 2022 @Jabba_the_gut I PMd you but I am not sure it notifies you after a certain amount of messages? Quote

Yes, PM'ing Jabba to as 'Is it finished yet?' seventeen times a day for the last six months may be considered a tad excessive. 1 Quote

See, I remember continually asking my mum *chokes on own vomit* "Are we there yet, are we there yet?" During long interminable train journeys only to be clumped around the ear each time which usually led to mild concussion and only once to cognitive and vestibular fallout. As a consequence, as I am sure Mr The Gut will confirm, I never pester him with such communications. As I have regularly said to him "You can't hurry quality." Not that, you know, I'm not dying inside but, well, one doesn't want to show it does one. 2 Quote
TheGreek Posted September 6, 2022 Posted September 6, 2022 Understandable that you can't wait...both are amazing looking and having seen @Jabba_the_gut's work first hand we can be sure of the quality. In your position I'd probably be offering to give him a lift to his workshop each evening. You know what they say..."good things come to those who wait"...not sure I could though. 1 Quote

Richard R Posted October 10, 2022 Posted October 10, 2022 The Jabba semi-acoustic fretless I played on Sunday was a lovely, lovely thing. What chance of one a little longer, with frets and maybe an extra string.... 1 1 Quote
MoonBassAlpha Posted October 10, 2022 Posted October 10, 2022 Looks beautiful, great work again Jabba! Quote

Stub Mandrel Posted October 10, 2022 Posted October 10, 2022 That bastard blank baled before I could steal his Jabba 😞 3 Quote
sblueplanet Posted December 3, 2022 Posted December 3, 2022 (edited) A thing of beauty. Is that hole in the headstock for wall-hanging, a fifth string or just a poor shot? 🤔😄 Edited December 3, 2022 by sblueplanet Quote
Jabba_the_gut Posted August 13, 2023 Author Posted August 13, 2023 And finally had some time to progress the second one - hoorah!! Not the best picture but the top was bought at the same time so (hopefully...) will look very similar in colour to the first bass. 5 Quote

If it's anything like as good as its fretless twin (a f*****g masterpiece) then I am going to be over the moon. 2 Quote
