Hi all just got this picture of the brass top nut after fitting from Robbie

Hi RK
Should have some more pictures for you soon!

Glad you like the ultralites they are nice piece of kit,I have them on my Yamaha6 and am considering fitting some clover leaf ones on my jazz bass at the moment to replace the standard Hipshots I have at the moment!

Hi all I have a quick update for ya,spoke to Robbie this evening and he has started work on fitting the frets.
So I should have some more pictures to share with you all in a day or so!

Absolutely beautiful bass you have there can't wait to see more of this build.

Cheers guys thanks for the positive feedback it means a lot

Yeah I know you mean RK keep looking at a Phil Jones powered cab!

12th fret inlay after sanding

That's a beautiful bass,

Thanks for sharing the build with us,

That would be a big yes!
I must say I'm getting rather exited

12th fret inlay in progress!

Absolutely beautiful bass can't wait to see more pictures

Call him back and tell him gold fret wire!!!!!!!
Should be a sound investment the neck is 120mm at its widest point!

Glad you like it more pictures soon.

Hi all its me again with some more pictures of the 8 from the nice man at Rim Tower's!!!!!!!

Or maybe even a tripod!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Rk yeah one more step nearly out of the way!
A few more steps to go but its getting there!
New bass day is a while away yet.
Nevermind though it gives me time to play my very much neglected Yamaha 6!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi all just got these pictures of the neck in jig ready for the fingerboard radius to be cut.

Got another neck picture to share with you all

Yeah I must admit Robbie is doing a great job.
You can really see the maple veneers,now the neck has a profile really loving the grain patterns in the limba!!!!

Really want to get my sweaty paws on it even more now!!!!!!!!!!

Strangely enough that's more or less what I said!!!!!!!!!

Hi all got some more pictures of the neck to share with you!

Especially for you RK more pictures of the neck being profiled, so you can stop rocking in the corner now!!!!!!!!!!

Just got this picture from Robbie he has started work on shaping the neck back!

Cheers thanks!!!!!!!
Certainly is a epic build I can't wait to hold it in my sweaty palms!!!!!!!
To be honest there was never really any set period of time for the build its just a case of when its done its done!
Will post more pictures as soon as I receive them from Rim Towers........

Hi all,
Just spoken to Robbie and he informs me that he should be starting to profile the back of the neck this week!
More news and pictures as I receive it/them!!!!!!!!!!!

Nut slot has been cut!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been following the OW 5 build and I must say they do build some lovely instruments!

Try thinking happy thoughts and before you know there will be pictures!!!!!!!!
