[quote name='rk7' timestamp='1383636887' post='2266740'] There have been (and still are!) some awesome builds on here recently. We should have a meet-up and see the real deal(s). Perhaps at the LBGS in March? RK [/quote] Sounds like a good idea to me boss!!! Got a couple more pictures for you all.

Thanks for the positive feedback on the build guys. Spoke to Robbie over the weekend and I should have some pictures of the bridge and the machine heads fitted so it can be strung up to work out where the fret markers will go maybe! More pictures soon as I have them!!!!!!

As promised more pictures for you!

[quote name='rk7' timestamp='1383293377' post='2262590'] Nice one! Where are they from? RK [/quote] The knobs were custom made in America by a guy I found on eBay named Brian Williams for a really good price,check him out I can't recommend him enough!!!!!! Should have some more pictures of the Marseer for ya all soon!

Hi all look what the very nice man from the Royal mail delivered this very day!

Why,thank you young man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh yes, Its great too see mine and Robbie's ideas coming to life!

Oh OK then!!!!!!!!!!

I have some more pictures who wants to see them?????????

Its basically a slightly widened Marseer 6 body. It will probably be a similar weight to my Yamaha trb 1006 if not a bit lighter!!!!!!

Cheers guys! Yeah Haydn certainly produces some lovely instruments, The marseer should not be be as heavy as you think the body is actually smaller than it looks!

Cheers mate, I have a rough mental picture of the bass! But it seems to change every time I talk to Robbie as we keep bouncing ideas off each other and the build takes a new direction! I feel that the finished product is going to be well worth the wait and Robbie is such a great bloke to deal with. No I've never had any experience with a 8string either,only 4&6 stringer's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi all have some more pictures for you! Work has started on the front cut away More pictures soon

Cheers bud! I really appreciate your positive comments

[quote name='rk7' timestamp='1382422811' post='2251825'] Another step closer Captain! RK [/quote] Oh yes it's getting there

[quote name='Myke' timestamp='1382394645' post='2251770'] How long has this build being going on? That heel looks lovely [/quote] Cheers thanks. The first post I put up was on 31st July 2012 but I think the Bass was ordered at the end of June early July.

Hi all!! I have another picture for your viewing pleasure. Work has started on the rear body cut away's. Thats all for now more pictures as I receive them.

[quote name='rk7' timestamp='1382081706' post='2247541'] More fantastic work, can't wait to see the finished bass! RK [/quote]that makes two of us bud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some more work done on heel profile

Ask and you shall receive! A couple more pictures for your entertainment, Robbie has started cutting the nut slots and he has also started work on profiling the neck heel. More pictures as I have them!!!

I hope so!!!!!!! Cheers thanks for the comments

Oh yes decided on gold fret wire so that it all matches in with the brass top nut and the black and gold Hipshot hardware! More lovely pictures as soon as I get them.
