Almost done:  

 

 

  These pictures were just before we fitted the last switch, on/off doe the Laser LEDs and the last step of mounting the hum cancelling pickup (that's why you see masking tape). Hope you like!

Simply gorgeous! So dark, and still there's lots of flame - yummy!
 
... still I wonder how the ebony would have turned out with an oil finish: I really liked the colours in the shots at the start of this thread.

'Elegant' is the word I'd use to describe this bass. I love the way the ebony has darkened under the finish, and the chrome hardware really sets it off nicely.

I must say, although I'm not a big fan of the balance K, this is a very nice bass. It seems more full looking than other balance K's.

I'm exactly the opposite to you Raphael, I absolutely love the Balance K body, more so than the standards. In fact seeing Paulos bass coming together makes me wonder if the kids really need to go to college - the sooner they're working for a living, the sooner I can get my next order in and it's almost certain to be a balance k series 2.
Again, congratulations Paulo - can't be long now.

Thanks Jacko ! My new order will be a Rogue with SII Electronics, and maybe some custom inlay .

This flamed ebony bass should be a visual and sonic standout even in Brazil, a land of many exotic woods, sounds, and rhythms.  Congratulations Paulo!
