misrule Posted August 11, 2007 Author Share Posted August 11, 2007 (edited) These arrived today. He's finished spraying and has to let the body cure for a week before he puts the bass together. Sadly, that will be too late for the South East bass bash. Cheers Mark Edited August 11, 2007 by misrule Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRedX Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Interesting neck/head construction. Like to see how that feels when playing around the first two frets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misrule Posted August 18, 2007 Author Share Posted August 18, 2007 (edited) The flight case has arrived, Bud has wet-sanded the body and is polishing today (Sat). The whole thing should be finished by tonight See you in a few hours at the SE bash ...

Mike Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Looks bloody magnificent Mark. Mine has yet to be routed & sprayed. So it looks like you've won this battle! I guess we'll need to have another custom built some other time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping for something tonight ... As to another custom, I don't think my finances (or wife!) will allow it for a while. I'll be keeping an eye on how yours gets on.

misrule Posted August 21, 2007 Author Share Posted August 21, 2007 (edited) I was sitting at work at about 10.30pm and spotted these on TalkBass. Ahhh! I guess the e-mail is waiting for me at home That's Bud's bike, not mine, by the way. And his lawn. I love how it's turned out. I just hope it has a safe and swift journey across the Atlantic.

ped Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Very nice indeed - looks like you want to be careful with that stand on the lower cutaway though!! Looking forward to hearing it - a friend on TB has/had one of these and I remember hearing it and thinking it was very 'alive' sounding. ta ped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how it will sound, but it's built with plenty of maple in the hope of some Ric clank. It was supposed to be here for the South East bash. I came along for a couple of hours but had to return home for childcare duties. I'll try to arrange a viewing so people who want to try it can come along.

misrule Posted August 22, 2007 Author Share Posted August 22, 2007 (edited) Here are some more shots. But the bad news is that Bud wants to keep it for ten days to two weeks so he can tweak it Cheers Mark Edited August 23, 2007 by misrule Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just his excuse to play it himself Cheers Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 That's gorgeous. Me, I'd have had the back woods on the front, if you see what I mean. But even so, that's very lovely. Hope you can last 10 days without chewing your nails away to nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Wow!! Looks superb - congratulations. The silver knobs look great with it too. Can't wait til you get your clammy paws on it !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misrule Posted August 22, 2007 Author Share Posted August 22, 2007 Thanks, guys.

He's keeping the bass up to two weeks, then it will take a week to get here. Cheers Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure sex Mark![/quote] Yup, he's sending the bike too. And included in the price, which I thought was pretty reasonable. I wish If Carlsberg made custom basses ...
