Excellent!  I am totally psyched to fire this baby up, can't wait til it's done.  The months are going to crawl by.

It's in carving. Here, Cody is starting to fit the continuous wood backplates:

 
It's looking good!

Thanks, looking forward to the next batch of photos.  I really like the process of this, from picking the woods to seeing it take shape.  It's really neat.

Thanks!  While wating for updates I checked out your 6 string custom, looks like it'll be a monster.   That's a crazy neck.

Lots has happened since the last photos. It looks like your bass will be ready to rub out in a couple of days:

The rubout is complete, it's in the setup room, just waiting for electronics to go in now:  

 

  The hardware is back from the plater.  James has been at a class all week, so there's a bit of stuff for him to catch up when he's back on Monday. Your bass should be on my dad's bench for the calibration by April 12.
