Looks great! It reminds me of one of Entwistle's Alembics. That's a look I've considered for a custom build. Enjoy!

The other nice thing about the flat sawn top is there is much more strength at the output jacks.  Less prone to cracking if stressed.

The sound of Alembic is medicine for the soul!

That's a gorgeous bass and, of course, it sounds as good as it looks. Great score.
