OK, that one gots to go on a Classico - how could you ever choose what part of that grain to leave off a smaller instrument?!?!?  Though if someone wants to front me $20-30K, I guess I'd be willing to try........

This is just before Kris glued the top to the body:

It's now in the glue press, and it will remain there probably until Next week, when Kris will be ready to do the next part.

More good news!  Here's your bass in the big clamps:

  And out of the big clamps, with some rough shaping:

  There's that little stripe of Vermilion:

  Plus some scraps I found that must surely be from your bass:

Wow... after the wait, that first picture of an assembled and shaped body would bring a tear to my eye. Heck, when I saw it I got a bit choked up!
