No doubt about it your bass will make it's presence seen and felt.

Now I need to practice harder to hone my skills & make them worthy of the attention this bass will get!

Hey Mica, are they still spraying clear coat or is it in cure out yet?

I would imagine from the last picture it is pretty close to completion so the next ones I would expect to be be the final build ones. The bass may well be with Ron for calibration as we speak. I'm really looking forward to the final pictures too.

I'm hoping that is the case Jazzyvee, but I will love any new pictures, even if it is not fully assembled yet.

This bass is giving me serious GAS.

No new pictures... this is the boring time where the clear coats build up.  
 
Good news is that it looks like 2-3 more coats so maybe next week I can post pics when it's in the final cure phase. Getting close now!

Thanks for the update Mica! I can't wait to see the final finish on it!! I really can't wait to see it with strings on it!!! The closer it gets, the harder the wait!!
