    Looks fantastic Fretty. The grain looks amazing and the DT has really done it justice. Any chance of a sound demo?

    cheers

    Very nice bass indeed. Colour is very pleasing to the eye, nice grain coming through and love your logo.

    I don't have a bass amp at home. So I tested that I hadn't bodged the soldering with my 28 year old Marshall 12w practice amp. So I couldn't get a decent sound, but I was pleasantly surprised with the sound nonetheless. It still needs its final set-up & intonation, so I won't record anything with it until that is done (hopefully next week end).
