nugget Posted November 25, 2012 Author Share Posted November 25, 2012 Got some more done so thought I'd better put some more pix up. There is still a lot of sanding to do so ignore the rough edges etc [IMG]http://i1216.photobucket.com/albums/dd380/firecreekCustom/DSC08218.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i1216.photobucket.com/albums/dd380/firecreekCustom/DSC08227.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i1216.photobucket.com/albums/dd380/firecreekCustom/DSC08223.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i1216.photobucket.com/albums/dd380/firecreekCustom/DSC08218.jpg[/IMG] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzybass Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 [size="3"][color="#000000"][font="Calibri"]That’s simply beautiful, I love the details looks very classy but sort of clean and un-fussy [/font][/color][/size] [size="3"][color="#000000"][font="Calibri"]Is that a veneer over a scratchplate?

nugget Posted November 26, 2012 Author Share Posted November 26, 2012 Hi Jazzybass Thanks - the scratchplate is 4 layers of veneer, 2 maple in the middle and rosewood on top and bottom. Ta Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm missing your overwater, can I have it back?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumple Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 The Overwater is up for sale Whatever I do I can't get away from the fact I like MM necks and preferably in maple so even though the Perception is now fretted I still don't play it.

jazzybass Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 I went to see Dave this afternoon about possibly having a bass made, I saw this one and I've gotta say it looks even better in the flesh! Possibly one of the best looking basses I've ever seen, and to think its going to be even better when it's all finished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
