Hey Everyone, Thank you for the great comments. I entered the Bass in a design contest over on the Instructibles site. If you wouldn't mind dropping over and voting for my entry, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks Reeds!

I don't want too show everyone the neck till the bass is complete, although I ca show you the tailpiece. Not far from the end now...just need to do the bridge...do some finishing and run the pick up....may be done tomorrow.
