SpondonBassed Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 (edited) Looks like marble. Marbellous! (Has anyone tried to do a marble top bass? Or perhaps just a marble fingerboard on a fretless?) Edited August 25 by SpondonBassed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MM Stingray 62 Posted June 22 Author Share Posted June 22 The latest picture from Overwater the fretboard needs to be cleaned and oiled. Martin told me the oil will darken the blocks and bring the grain out to match the body. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Close: the Polish luthier Nexus (previously located in Belgium, but now back in Poland) has made fretless basses with granite fingerboards! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MM Stingray 62 Posted July 11 Author Share Posted July 11 The backplates are made they just need to be lacquered. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not a complete bass in alabaster? http://www.alabastrosonoro.com/elbass.html I tried one when I was in Volterra many moons ago and apart from the (not so heavy) weight, the sound wasn't bad at all. That said I owned a Nexus sixer fretless @LeftyJ : excellent bass for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MM Stingray 62 Posted July 19 Author Share Posted July 19 (edited) The bass is now finished I cannot wait to collect it. I would just like to say a big thank you to Chris and everyone involved in making me this bass. A special thank you to Martin who’s been amazing thanks mate. 👏👏 Edited July 19 by MM Stingray 62 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpondonBassed Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Mmm. Burley but not brutish. It might clash with my paisley shirt though... I wish you many happy years with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walshy Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 I had a little noodle on this today when dropping off a bass, the pics don't do it justice. It's a stellar bass, sounds great and a lovely weight. A definite keeper! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
