    I own a bass, as well as bass guitars. My bass has gut strings on it, they won't work on a bass guitar. If your bass is of a guitar design it is a bass guitar. Some people just amaze me that they know how to breathe with out being reminded. Beautiful work as usual, I told a friend about the coffee guitar from years past and he didn't believe me. I had to force him to watch!

    That tele at the end was pretty! It looked like bright stars or fireflies in an evening sky above a darkened city skyline!
    Also, loved the little details you did on this bass like the penil end dot inlays, the just minor flavor touch of pencil on the headstock tip, solid touches.
    That tele though.... it resonated with me.

    You continue to amaze me, sir. Truly. Watching your first build with colored pencils I never would have thought that I’d like the potential result. And in builds by others maybe I wouldn’t have. But your’s are always really interesting. I like that you were less linear this time & used the ‘lines’ in different layouts. Again… you continue to amaze. Well done! 👍🏼
    I’m certain there’s an understanding to be had here that I’m clearly missing… but the effectiveness of the ‘antenna’ that was inadvertently made is only more amazing that it is down to a simple grounding error. That’s always boggled my mind. Primarily because having grown up in the age of ‘rabbit ear’ antennas rather than digital cabling, even in the most perfect of conditions, we never had the reception clarity that this bass produced. Not even once. LOL

    Figured 100 bucks an hour for the price of the guitar felt reasonable to offset materials and other related costs, as well as obviously to properly compensate the work and craftsmanship that goes into this. Needless to say the price on your site feels very reasonable. Not shocking that pretty much everything has been sold. You have no idea how tempting that tele is...

Several months ago I was talking with a friend of mine about those things that we've wanted to do, but always seem to just put them off and not do them. So we challenged each other to choose one of those projects and actually do it. We are checking in with each other once a month with a kind of show and tell. That gave me the accountability to actually begin my guitar build. I'm loving it. So glad I finally started. But as a noob, I'm taking it slow.
