    Beautiful build Simon, but I think this Bass violates one of the 10 Commandments. #5 in particular!

    #1 "Thou shalt not f**k up the groove. F**k up the notes if thou must, but
    not the groove."
    #2 "Thou shalt not lust after thy guitar player's part. He keepeth the fun,
    thou keepeth the groove."
    #3 "Be thou not swayed by a drummer with crappy time, for thou art the
    keeper of the beat."
    #4 "Be thou not led into temptation before the gig. After is cool."
    #5 "Thou pusheth thy luck with five strings, six is a mortal sin, for thou
    hast no business in the upper register"
    #6 "Thou shalt not thump with thy thumb, nor honk with a pick when thy
    fingers are the way of truth."
    #7 "Thou shalt not fear whole notes, for they can be the way and the
    light."
    #8 "Thou shalt leave the fancy s**t to thy bandmates, so they might wrestle
    with their own bad taste."
    #9 "Thou shalt change thy strings at least once per decade, whether they
    need it or not."
    #10 "Thou shalt tune thy bass before each and every gig, even though it was
    in tune when last thou put it away"

    Lol Zandit where on earth did you get that list of commandments?

    Woks yes I decided to make a ramp to see if it helps with a lighter touch and faster playing. It does but I'll need to raise it a bit higher.

    Yes solid wenge, radiused to match the fingerboard and it's attached via sticky tape. So it's removable.

    Yep. I'm shelving my scratch build until next year thanks to Simon.
