Jay's Custom Signature Deluxe in Buckeye Burl

[mica]

A couple of infancy shots of your bass-to-be!  This is the top and back:

 

  Body getting clamped to neck (back is already in place):

 Next stop... laminating the bookmatched to center top.   And the obligatory blurry peghead shot:

 It's a special gift I have.   Looks super sweet, and as usual even better in person.

I just never get tired of looking at buckeye, this is going to be spectacular when the first coats of finish are on it

I think its awesome Alembic lets you choose from their Wood Bank!!! This one just really spoke to me!

I missed a few things while I was out sick, but your bass is coming right along. It's now in its second round of carving:

1 truss rod???  Great lookin bass!!!

[jay_r]

Thank you! Yea I saw that also. Thought it might be a camera angle. Looks dead center though.?!??

[jay_r]

Susan told me it would have a low profile neck. Might just be one heavier trust rod.

[mica]

Two truss rods as usual:
 

 
Black arrows point to the standoff nuts, covered in masking tape. Red arrow is actually a Maple laminate in the neck.

Thanks Mica!  
    I thought it sat too far back to be a trust rod!  
    Ready for another round of your flawless photography! She sure is a beauty!!...... I'll say it again.....WOW!!!
