It's starting to look like a real bass now! Next stop, final carving.

Very cool, that is going to be one beautiful bass. How much does that thing weigh?

Its been 6 months and 8 days since I orderd Brownie. I spend every afternoon sitting on the porch waiting for the stork but he never comes, and I cry myself to sleep every night.

  Do you want me to post finished pics for you on Monday evening, or do you want the rest to be a surprise?

And most likely, at least several years to come! Looks like a real beauty, very tasteful. I might slightly prefer the back (or should I say the body?), but it's a tough call.
 
Congratulations.

Great looking bass. The walnut looks like its reverberating. Play it in good health.

What combinations of wood were used for the neck of this bass?  It looks awesome.

Title: Build Record
Post by: mica on October 24, 2006, 04:07:01 PM

It's Walnut with a touch of Maple.

Post by: jaurigemma on October 26, 2006, 02:10:03 PM

Wow, so it's all Walnut, with just Maple accents???  I thought some of it might be Pau Ferro, like my custom Excel has.  Very sexy, I find myself wanting one just like this now....

That's the most beautiful Orion I've seen. One overlooked feature of set neck basses is that a book matched to center top is standard.
Europa electronics with LEDs? Ouch. Great combination, Joe.
