Brownie is getting its neck attached to its body:
 

 
It's starting to look like a real bass now! Next stop, final carving.

Very cool, that is going to be one beautiful bass. How much does that thing weigh?

Its been 6 months and 8 days since I orderd Brownie. I spend every afternoon sitting on the porch waiting for the stork but he never comes, and I cry myself to sleep every night.

Hey Joe - your bass is now finished! I will post some images for you tomorrow, and we'll be able to ship on Monday, won't be long now.

These are from when James was setting up your bass:  

 

  Do you want me to post finished pics for you on Monday evening, or do you want the rest to be a surprise?

And most likely, at least several years to come! Looks like a real beauty, very tasteful. I might slightly prefer the back (or should I say the body?), but it's a tough call.
 
Congratulations.
