Goddamn, it's gorgeous. I'm might be overstating a bit here, but it looks like a freakin' Stadivarius of basses.

So, a few changes were made regarding bass #2:
Body: 5 piece Poplar (Aspen)
Neck: 3 piece Maple
Frettingboard: Wenge
Head top plate: Flamed Maple
I am extremely happy the way the basses have turned out, couldn't have asked for more.
They sound very good, and the playabillity gets a full score from me, just a few adjustments remains to get the action low enough for my liking. There is a little weight difference between the two basses, bass #2 is about 2/3's the weight of bass #1. Anyway, enjoy the pictures for now, I'll upload some soundbytes later on, I just have to get used to handling these monsters

Oh hell man... Congrats on the new pieces. Can't wait to hear them in action. I presume you will be using them for the new album? And on stage in November?
