    That's gorgeous Rob! If Bec ever gives up playing, she cold hang it on her way as a piece of art...
    Thanks Dvous, but with grain feature as good as this, it' would be hard to mess it up.

    And if Bec ever decides to stop playing, I'm getting this beauty back lol.

    Thanks Warren, I know I've said it before, but with grain feature like that, anything that doesn't hide it will look good.

    I'm looking forward to seeing how yours turns out. Wudtone burst should look stunning.

    Cheers

    Thanks Brendan, coming from an old 4 stringer, any bass is a good bass. Even these new fangled 5 string things.

    I hope these Ash bodies stay consistently good, as I intend to make an IB-5 of my own one day when I have finished my current builds and can afford one. They really are THAT good.

    cheers

    Looks fantastic Rob. This is like being a kid on Christmas Eve waiting to hit the tree. I'm hoping my IB5 lands tomorrow and that it has grain like this piece of art.
