So... Is the plan to re graduate, then put the bass bar and cleats back in? Or is it a combination of installing and graduating as you go?

Its not the gamba bass that appears when the page comes up. The busetto with sweeping FFs is listed to the left in the inventory, for $45,500. Unique looking bass!

Very nice repair work, Matthew! Gluing up cracks on bass tops can be really frustrating, but it looks like you have it under control. Beautiful color on the top too!

Are you going to send a sample...

I have two choices for the back. The piece below is 15" wide, and 1 5/8", or 40mm thick (rough cut). It would make a nice two piece back, but the swell might be shallow.

Here is a photo of the Butternut wood. This piece would be for the ribs (4/4 stock).

I wet the board with water, so the grain and color, would be more evident.

Art Deco(?) Bass

Has anyone ever seen a bass like this? It looks like it could be from the 1920's or 30's. Highly stylized scroll and plastic edging similar to a guitar. Needs a lot of work but, it looks really cool....
