That is truly snazzy, The rebate in the back of the upper bout to allow for access to the higher frets is unusual but works really well.
Great job mate!

What can I say Simon stunning looking bass and a real inspriration to anyone who has built a kit to step up to a scratchy with minimal tools

Great Build Simon.

I did notice that you were wearing some sort of Laboratory coat with your crocs in the first pictures, practical/comfortable luthier wear?

Hahaha now fashion doesn't matter when you're working alone in your own place! Yes but the lab coat is to protect my clothes from the dust and it gets cold too. The crocs are just a substitute for the thongs I used to wear. I go in and out of my place for breaks regularly so I'd hate to keep taking off my shoes.

Yup I can easily access the upper frets despite it being a single cut. It's a design inspired by some of the major luthiers and it works well. I could have designed the lower horn to sit a bit further from the neck because it obstructs the hand a little.

And thanks for the comments everyone. Close to finish!
