[quote name='Mike' post='256410' date='Aug 6 2008, 04:00 PM']WOW - stunning finish! PS Mine is up to 8months![/quote] 8 months, has it been 8 months already or have you been told it'll take 8 months? Did you start a build diary or are you keeping it all under wraps? As I remember, it's a 33" 5 string right? I did promise Jon that I'd not bother him too much, so I'm just leaving him be, plus if it runs for another 3 months or so, I don't have to worry about enjoying myself too much on holiday next month...

There's very little left to do to my bass, can't imagine it's more than a few hours work left. Cheers, Eude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
