Hello

[Craig Regan]

Here is the bass with some finnish work done. I tried to match the spruce top, to the natural color of the cherry ribs. Cherry wood darkens with age, so I may refinish the spruce part for a better look, later on.

This is a "learn to build bass", so I may go back in at some time and thin out the top a little. tweak the bass bar, etc., etc.

Later this summer I will do the "calender photo shoot".

For now, I am happy it is finally making some music.

Wow, you built this? If so, nice job.

Very impressive! Please move closer to me...

Yeah, between you and Craig, you could corner the U.S. Market on DB builds and restores . I think it would be worth considering.

.

Cherry is also really photo sensitive causing it to darken more in direct and indirect sunlight. So you may be toning the color of the spruce after that calendar shoot. The bass looks nice, great job!

Stunning looks! I wish I could be there to hear it.
