Danno's Series II 6-string
« on: September 23, 2020, 08:40:38 PM »
Well, it's fun to have a public FTC thread again! Everyone has been asking for private emails for a quite a while. These are the first few images from when Kris was assembling your bass. Enjoy!

Dig the knobby headstock. And I like the ebony veneered fronts I've been seeing here and there lately.

Ahhh....a much-loved thread revived.  Now if we can get the Double-Bass restoration "shop" up and running again....these are the kind of "reality-shows" I can get behind!   8)

I'm just going to enjoy Danno's build here... (and a sneak peek at the new Alembic Shop?) I've had to scale back the Scroll Shop for now due to the Real Job situation. Hopefully things will settle down this Fall and I can get back to whittling up there. I did have a clean-up day recently.


The real pro woodsmiths are right here.  ;)

Awesome! And great to see activity here again :-)

Also quite partial to the Ebony headstock veneers, there will be more of them later this year :-)

Certainly brings back memories (these threads usually start with a neck, right?). Ebony veneer FTW!

Hello Mica and Susan. I'll be contacting you about an additional inlay of my family crest. We discussed this for another custom you made me years ago but I didn't have the wear with all at the time. Ince this will be my last hurrah, let's see how we can achieve it on this build.

Susan is working her magic on a detailed version of the crest to be placed near the top of the neck to allow for minimum fret disturbance. There will be red rays on the inlay logo on the peghead. Bring on more pictures!
