Absolutely beautiful...

[SpondonBassed]

Looks like marble.  Marbellous!

 

(Has anyone tried to do a marble top bass?  Or perhaps just a marble fingerboard on a fretless?)

And a stand so you can wheel it around on stage with you?

Fender made some custom Corian (man made marble) ones…

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.

Almost finished I can’t wait.

Close: the Polish luthier Nexus (previously located in Belgium, but now back in Poland) has made fretless basses with granite fingerboards!

The backplates are made they just need to be lacquered.

Why not a complete bass in alabaster?

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.

[MM Stingray 62]

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. 👏👏

[MM Stingray 62]

That is top-drawer.  Beautiful build.

Is this beauty 34", 35", or 36"?

The bass is a 34”

[SpondonBassed]

Mmm.  Burley but not brutish.  It might clash with my paisley shirt though...

 

I wish you many happy years with it.

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!

My word...
