This is going to be an absolutely amazing bass, I can't wait to see it completed.  What island do you live on? The reason I ask is I visit hawaii once a year or so to see my brother in law, he lives in Kailua.

So if I get a government job I can steal all your guys' basses?!

I've got a government job (well, not a civilian, but government no less) - my problem (if one can call it that) is I keep buying more!  Especially Alembics!
 
Paul, you're going to love your bass.  Trust me!

Hi deburgh,
 
I live on the Big Island of Hawaii in Hilo. We have a Kailua-Kona on the other side of this island but your b-i-l probably lives in Kailua, Hawaii on the island of Oahu. That is where Waikiki is which is on the other side of the island from Kailua but a very beautiful place indeed.
 
Thanks for the nice compliments on my bass, as you know I can't wait to see it either but it's a long process to build these beauties!
 
Aloha, Paul

Hi again Paul
 
Yes, he lives on Oahu. Next time we go there we hope to go spend a week or so on the big island, I've been on Oahu and Maui but never there, and I hear it's breathtaking!  There's a golf course or  two there that I've seen pictures of that I just have to see  
 
Take care,  
Todd

In the ready for routing soon:  

 

 

 

 

Very nice!!

What Dave said.  
 
I love those neck lams- very very cool.

I'll triple that.  Great looking combination. Enjoy that beauty for many years to come in good health.

WOW what a fantastic and majestic looking bass!!!
 
It looks incredible, Paul!  And it'll look MUCH more awesome when carving is done and the finish hits!!!
 
You must be thrilled!!!  Congrats!!!

Very nice indeed.

I think I better come in here and say thank's to all of you for your nice compliments. Thank you guys.
 
I am ecstatic, mesmorized, (I don't want to say to much cuz my spelling is terrible and Bradley might nail me) but I am all the things you could think of to explain Happy and Content
