Dont have a bass in the collection so decided to add an IB5.
Will be finished in Cherry Flamenco
Still deciding on leave standard or upgrade to full contact bridge and SD Blackouts with Treble/bass control.
Neck pocket needs a little work but should be ok with the corner taken out a bit.
Really happy with the grain and looking forward to getting some Wudtone on the body.
Tony
nice grain Tony, these ash bodies are sensational, I've built one of these, should look awesome in cherry flamenco, one of my favourite wudtone colours. What colour you staining the neck ?

Hi Wokka
Was looking at standard clear at the moment. I am now a wudtone convert so looking forward to DBs new concoctions for future builds.that could be because i am such a crap painter.
Tony
Beautiful grain Tony. Will look fantastic with the cherry. Clear neck finish is also a good choice! Can't wait to see the combination.
cheers,
Gav.

Adjusting the fit of neck in pocket and looks like will end up with a gap on the other side of pocket that photo of about 2mm+. Has anyone got a way of packing or a shim method that they have used to make look less obvious.
Tony
Tony, can you please post a photo of the neck in the neck pocket from above that shows both sides ?
