I tried the Galaxy prototype; the body is a 300 year old hunk of Cedar...a fun weird bass. There's some nice woodwork you posted, thanks! ps. I just looked at the listing for that bass- wow, someone paid a lot for a rough prototype; we tried to sell it at the pawnshop for Mr. Mara and couldn't get a sniff anywhere near that for it...good for him!

As a reminder, our host here is in the business of building and selling custom basses and guitars.  Accordingly, while an appreciation of other builders is understandable, we might not want to stray too far into promoting our host's competitors while we're here.
