    Ok well first rough go at it/proof of concept is done and I only wished I'd had it laser cut about 50 times. That said the 'hand made' look is part of the appeal of doing this. I think its going to work, fair bit of tidying up to do obviously.

    I'm going to re-manufacture the upright bit, It;'s a bit rough. The holes are not quite in the right spot (or straight!) to allow the string through to work, but its pretty close. This is interference fit at the moment and its pretty secure, but I'll still braze the final piece in.

    Take two, much better spacing, just needs a little bit of refinement and for the holes to be slightly lower. Some careful filing will take care of that.

    An excerpt from the the sales brochure:

    ...and the bass carries the “Cthulhu Approval” mark of quality, certifying it for use by celestials, ethereal beings, demonic entities, inter dimensional Deities and Lemmy Kilmister.

    Looking good Sonic.

    String through holes in base plate may need to be a sightly bigger diameter with possibly a forward bevelled profile to help avoid sharp edges for strings to catch on.
