Electric Double Bass Build

Too cool! Are you going to build that 'booster' to the full depth of the neck heel and carve the shape to match?

Depth yes - I simply couldn't hold it all there while taking the photo - I was just using it as an opportunity to check how tall it would be, and also check the scale length is still set correctly after I had to saw some more off the blocks.

With regards to shape, I'm hoping to shape it so it matches well. I'm not sure how well I will do with that though, because everything short of cutting is basically hand sanding (I can't find my wood rasp so I have to go buy one probably).

As it stands in the first pics on the floor, there's only two more of the outside planks to add to make it cover the majority of the neck heel (basically up to the ring on the drum). My woodworking skills are absolute novice, however, so I don't expect anything great.
