Well, it has been a rather crappy week, some not so good things happened in Dingo world so rather than risk stuffing up important jobs I thought I would build a neck through Bass.
Here are a few pics of progress so far
Timbers used are Iroko wings, Tassie Blackwood, Rock Maple and Makore laminate neck

That's a hot looking mix you've put together, DB. Really like the look of the headstock! Never heard of makore and iroko. Where do they come from? Are they hard/soft?
Thanx Lawry.
Iroko and Makore both come from Africa.
The Iroko is a hardwood and the Makore is a type of Mahogany
Innovative design and sweet woods.
The left side looks Tele & the right looks Strat . . . are you gunna title it TELSTRA?
Maybe not - this baby is to good for that dubious title.
Ibanez inspiration?? Looks great!! Neck through basses are truly the best, too bad Ive never been able to afford one. Im interested to see how this turns out.
Thanx Eshays.
It just kinda happened... another one of my on the fly builds! :)
another piece of class on it's way then
Nice work DB - another reason for me to pack a water bottle and lunch and head south to see you. Those woods together look fantastic!
great blend of timbers DB
Ebony or rosewood fingerboard?
