Fantastic bass, beautiful workmanship, and thanks for sharing the video! RK

Lovely, absolutely lovely! Congratulations man. RK

Really looking forward to seeing this bass! RK

5 days since the last instalment, I'm heading for the corner! Any news Captain? RK

Yep, Myke is right, the dark green is cool! The bass is looking awesome, and the time you are taking to get everything just-so is gonna pay big dividends. Keep up the good work! RK

Orange means its gonna change from green to red, that won't work!

Green for go - always. See? If you have a red bass, everything will stop! RK

Is that a Utility sofa then? (I'll get mi coat) RK

[quote name='Myke' timestamp='1381394983' post='2238340'] Seeing them pictures, I'm now very much for the green! [/quote] +1 RK

[quote name='allighatt0r' timestamp='1381330094' post='2237718'] I think you would be mad not to have it green after you've talked so much about green as a colour choice! [/quote] The man makes a very good point. I also think it should be green. RK

Brass - nice! I think the overall finish on this bass will be exceptional. Such detail. Fantastic work. Are you having gold fretwire? RK

I'm up for it. Either 4 or 5 string! thank you please RK

[quote name='3below' timestamp='1381175223' post='2235486'] Does this mean a set of low use TI flats will be up for sale? If so name your price, they are my strings of choice. [/quote] I have a set that have been on the bass for 10 mins, if you are interested. PM me?

Sweet! Nice craftsmanship, they will look great. RK

Oh my! that is lovely! lucky you! RK

Yes, but lovely walnut! I'll be starting in a week or two. Can't do 'dust' just yet. I've just had a nosejob (true) so it needs to heal a bit, ha ha. I'll also do the vintage suitcase thing too, for completeness. I don't use a lot of pedals, but I have the controller for my amp, my wireless, and a looper, so why not. Anyway, I'm intruding on your build thread, which is bad form. lol RK

My guitarist has a board that he (proudly) says took all of 20 minutes to make! Oh dear. Check out the Salvage stuff. Its proper nice. RK

Tee hee, I'd just end up keeping my coffee on it! And pizza sounds great. Getting hungry now. RK

I have serious GAS! RK

I had a wheel adjuster made, to adjust the headset bearings on my trials bike without the usual need to remove the handlebars. A simple mod but really effective. I was lucky to be working near a very well equipped machine shop at the time. Otherwise its almost impossible to source special items, even if you have already come up with a cracking design or a really good improvement. I did consider a titanium trussrod for mine whilst speccing it, but I wasn't sure about the threads 'galling' (common with titanium) and preventing adjustment in future. There are some excellent build diaries on here at the moment. I'm becoming a build diary anorak! I'll shortly be starting a thread for a pedalboard build. made from lovely walnut of course! Dovetails etc. Very like the Salvage Custom Shop ones. RK

Hah, just fitted Hipshot Ultralites to my bass! Top kit! I had to pay the customs duty (bought them from eBay from the states). I had just got home from hospital but I couldn't resist the urge to fit them. Go with green, if its what you want. That's been the philosophy (to your credit) all through your build. RK

Beautiful work, absolutely stunning! RK

Wow. Its like glass! Lovely. RK

Oh wow. That is lovely! RK

Hey Captain! Looking forward to the next update. Just finished fitting Hipshot Ultralite tuners to mine. Lovely tuners, and waaaay light. RK
