Black Tulipwood veneer glued on and fingerboard cut and tapered ready to be cut for the binding

Cheers thanks for the positive comments glad you like it!!!!
Yeah Robbie does build some serious basses unfortunately he has bad taste in socks!!!!!!!!!!!

Worth a try nothing ventured nothing gained!!!! I've found offering to decorate often works!

Should have some more pictures soon from Robbie,can't wait to see the fingerboard fitted to the neck.

Valid point,don't suppose you could talk the future Mrs Truckstop into buying you one as a wedding present its an investment after all

[attachment=121180:Davids neck.jpg] Thought I would share some pictures of neck blank with the truss rods and carbon rods being fitted.

Should have some pictures of neck after fingerboard has been fitted in next few days or so

Yes they are rather delicious aren't they?
But sometimes you just have too give into the GAS I'm afraid

Hi all thought I would share this picture I received from Robbie last night!

Pickup will probably be moved back closer to bridge somewhere close to a 70's jazz bass type location possibly maybe.

Pickup arrived today Oooh er missus that's a big'un you've got there!

Hi I would say the music I'm really enjoying and playing at the moment is progressive metal eg Dream Theater but I must admit I like most types of music as long as it has a good bass line it works for me.
But still a soul boy at heart!!!!!!!!!!!!

I received these pictures from Robbie last night of the neck template with the revised headstock!
[attachment=119606:imag0601.jpg]
[attachment=119607:imag0602.jpg]
The headstock has been shortened slightly and the sides have been curved compared to the one in the previous pictures what do you think???

Just thought I would share these pictures of the final mockup with the revised headstock.[attachment=119239:imag0592.jpg]
[attachment=119240:imag0593.jpg] I would like to Say sorry for Robbie's sandals and his bad taste in socks!
Awsome bass builder but no sartorial elegance dude you need the Gok treatment!!!!!!!
