    Well, it has been a rather crappy week, some not so good things happened in Dingo world so rather than risk stuffing up important jobs I thought I would build a neck through Bass.

    Here are a few pics of progress so far

    Timbers used are Iroko wings, Tassie Blackwood, Rock Maple and Makore laminate neck



    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....

    That's a hot looking mix you've put together, DB. Really like the look of the headstock! Never heard of makore and iroko. Where do they come from? Are they hard/soft?

    Thanx Lawry.
    Iroko and Makore both come from Africa.
    The Iroko is a hardwood and the Makore is a type of Mahogany

    Maybe not - this baby is to good for that dubious title.

    Nice work DB - another reason for me to pack a water bottle and lunch and head south to see you. Those woods together look fantastic!
