David's Coco Bolo Custom

[mica]

So, a scant few days ago, you selected this wood:

 

  And it's now been churned into something that is almost looking like your bass!  The neck:

  The lower body half getting it's pickup mounting block, well, mounted:

  The upper body half front:

  The upper body half back:

  Side view:

  All in all, I'd say it's a great start!

Mica,a set of my prefered string choice is now winging it's way across the Atlantic to you.

In carving:

 
In a few days, I'll post a picture of your bass with sealer coats on it, then the long wait. It takes 4-6 weeks in finish for something else interesting to happen, so I'm just preparing you for this in advance.  
 
I'll let you know when I receive the strings.

Brace yourself, there's sealer in place:  

 

 

  Stunning!  Now it's time for the very long wait while all the layers of finish are sprayed. It's tough because from the snapshots, it looks almost done, but there's a long way to go.
