Those scraps would make excellent boxes. I love your choices. Can't wait to see the rest!

i gotta give mica all the credit on the vermilion accents. looks great. can't wait to see her get hit with some varnish (uhh... the bass, not mica).

Very nice,  This will really be Awesome when done .______ I wonder if there has ever been a 34 inch scale version of an Alembic bass with this kind of  Violin shape ? I have wondered that before. Kind of like a Gibson EB-1 shape but built Alembic style with a neck through design with Series Electronics . You could wear it on a strap .  Fretless as well ____ Anybody know ? HMMMMMM____

Interesting idea sonicus that would look so cool a bit like an Alembic Beatle bass. :-)

Yes   Jazzyvee,  Thanks ____ That would be right .

Wolf, I was thinking that as well... A double omega, no horns bass... That will look cool!
I like how one of a sudden, pictures are flooding this thread! It's on it way Austin!!! And it is going to be jaw-dropping, that's for sure!

There really aren't enough words to describe how fabulous that is.

i would actually love to hear how this one sounds!! what a bass!

Look who's in carving:

 

  Tailpiece rough shaped:

  And test fitting the fingerboard:

 

 The fingerboard won't get glued on until the end of finish. Maybe I'll be about to post some with sealer coats as soon as next week

Outstanding!!  I love that headstock shot- cool seeing the laminates run through.  
 
Very happy for you Austin. I know the wait has been painful, but I'd imagine these photos put a smile to your face!

WOW!!!

Pretty impressive instrument!

YES !!!!!   I love it _____
