Lyn #13 - MMB-4 (Fretless)

Just a few more:

Looks really good mate, real nice.

Beautiful Robin, just beautiful

Looks fantastic Rob, and that fretboard gloss is just insane. It doesn't matter if it scuffs up over time, it looks mighty impressive in the pics.

Thanks mate, but iPhone cameras can sometimes be very flattering. ;)

I'm sure it's close to natural! It's come up awesomely, well done mate!

Very pretty Rob.

@Tony, Dedman, Scott, Shazza & Fretty
Thanks guys, and Shazza ;) I have seen the awesome guitars that you guys have made so these compliments mean a awful lot to me.

Thanks again
rob

Absolutely stunningly awesome.

I would just hang it on the wall as it looks too good and shiny to play and mark up.

Once you get the hang of playing fretless it becomes addictive. Not so much fun in dim poorly lit rooms or venues as that is when you seem to notice everyone else playing out of tune haha.

Thanks Wazza.

Noooo, I hope I never make a guitar to hang on the wall. lol. They're all made to be played, and if they get marked, so be it.

I've had a few more hours of playing her, I still need to tweak the string height a bit, but she is awesome to play and I think I could really get to like playing a fretless, whether the other members of the church band will agree remains to be seen. :p

Thanks mate.

God made us all unique, even our playing styles and instruments to which we prefer to play haha :)

Whoa, what a stunner. Top notch, Rob.

Robin, As per usual your build is a stunner. Man that gloss on the fretboard looks amazing.

Bewdiful, that is all :cool:

looks unreal Westie07, what a stunner. Love the shine on the whole axe. Don't worry too much about scuff marks on the FB, as you say you can sand it back when it gets too bad. Better enter it in May GOTM mate, this will raise the bar big time !

I will send the boys around to pick that very tasty Bass up :p

Well done Rob, a true testament to your patience and skills.
I feel that everyone will agree with me that your input to our community, ideas and discoveries have taught us all a thing or two.
I, for one, have stolen a few of your ideas....

And guess what?
You are a Luthier :)

As I've said before I'm not a bass guy, but that build is just stunning.

@Pabs, Tony, Dave and Andy
Wow guys, I don’t know what to say, except thanks. It means a lot coming from you guys.

@Shazza
Yeah mate, but some of us are more unique than others, and not always in a good way. :p


@Woks
Thanks Warren, she was made to be played so bring on the scuff marks I say.
No GOTM for me mate, not really my style. Besides getting compliments from you guys is reward enough.

@DB
No Phil, I’m not a Luthier until I make a neck, and I can’t see that happening anytime soon. Lol.
But thanks mate. Getting compliments from a real Luthier is pretty special and somewhat embarrassing.


Thanks again all ;)

Robin, I know heaps of Luthiers that don't make necks...

hey Westie07 take the compliment from DB mate, if a luthier calls you a luthier then you are a luthier mate !

Phil and Warren,

It seems that in all my years I have never learnt the knack of accepting a compliment graciously. I will remedy that, at least on this one occasion.

So thank you guys, I appreciate the kind words and encouragement.

haha good stuff Westie07, better make that your permanent signature mate !
