One for the Ricci lovers

And todays frivolities in the Man Cave...

Binding, sanding, sanding and more sanding with a whole lot more sanding ahead of me.....

In between answering emails, doing a post office run and nanna nap i managed to final sand the body, finish off the neck- bone nut and inlays- and throw a few coats of stain on the body and headstock...

When that pic of the body in colour came up on my screen it literally took my breath away.

So it's a fretless too ay. Careful now, you might pull me over to the darkside of the bass players with gems like this one.

Yhep, no speed humps on most of my Bass builds... Speed humps belong on Guitars, not Bass! :)

Oh man, I'm in love.

wow DB great progress since the weekend, love the shape, colour and inlays, looking forward to seeing this beast progress. Does that round edge on the top of the neck above the heel fit in with the pickguard ?
Oh and thanks for the get out of the naughty room free card, I might use that very soon !

Cheers guys,
Woks, the cresting wave shape on the fingerboard was just a flight of fancy on my behalf...
Thought it balanced out the headstock rather nicely... (Sure hope Rickenbacker don't see it and steal my idea) :)
As for the get out of the naughty room for free card, you almost needed it tonight.... Have you ever seen me put a timber hider.... Errrm... Pick guard on a build yet? :P

Hehe. Love how you think DB. I haven't played a fretted bass for years and I don't think I could ever go back.
I love the way the neck is looking, and the markers. What are you going to use on the fingerboard to toughen it up? Or am I jumping the gun too much here ;-)
