Thanks guys.
I got the neck tapered today and I'll post pictures of the process tomorrow but I want to show you a little preview of what the body wings are made of.
See if you can guess the wood! Hint: one of them isn't Aussie timber!
American Walnut?

Nope! It's wenge! Then Vic ash and tas Blackwood.
beautiful grain in the wenge Simon, this will be a super sexy bass indeed. Lucky you are far enough away from the DB bass napper haha

How did you find sanding the Wenge? it seems very tough but rather splinter prone (at least my bits were).
I am really looking forward to seeing how this one comes up with that combination of timbers!
