yes is louder, yes is more responsive to bow (even strung with Spiros) . E string shaketh the floor. But, still very bright, and i think this is partly cos my bridge is too thin at the top. I am happy I spent the time on regraduating the top. Worked for me. I have ordered some Evahs for a special treat. We'll see how she go. |

Hope Springs Eternal
Today is sunny and warm, and for the first time, it feels like Spring.
Here is a photo of the bass, and for the fist time, its starting to look like a bass. Last edited by Craig Regan; 04-16-2009 at 12:52 PM. |

Nice looking bass, Craig! Now let's get some finish on 'er. This is the ultimate varnishing weather. (Today is mid 60's F., a gentle breeze, low humidity and dappled sunshine.)

Looking great Creag!

Here is the latest.
I have decided to set up the bass, before the finish process, to avoid scratches and dents. Made the saddle, nut and fitted a sound post; then fit a bridge and proceeded to string it up. Most of the nuts I have seen have wider spacing between the E and A strings and then the spacing gets smaller between the D and G string. This set up would work better on my beveled fingerboard (layout issues), but, I will try using 10 mm between every string as stated in the "Luthiers Corner". |

With only one string on the bass, I could not resist plucking out the first note....
Then I let my son try it with a bow. Last edited by Craig Regan; 04-30-2009 at 09:57 AM. |

I would rather get the next three strings on the bass then sit at the computer.
Here are some progress pictures from the last 2-3 weeks. Enjoy them. |

Hi Craig I only just caught this latest update!
The bass is looking great. You must feel pretty chuffed about it. Well done! |
