Nice pics there again. Interesting that the linings were bent with the ribs. Sounds like hard work!

Any clues on how the scallops were carved? I'm guessing in situ, but I can't see close enough to tell. Since they are so unique on this bass, suggest you include a closeup of one of them as an extra photo!

I note you have put a very wide bridge on this bass, it looks as if it overlaps the FFs by at least half an inch, or more, on either side. In the past, you have been adamant that this is a bad thing and causes belly to sink at the ffs. Any comment on the situation here?
