Thanks!
Here's another one I finished about a year and a half ago. 4-string fretless bass, my own body design. I bought a killer piece of burl/quilt maple on Ebay, and a vine inlaid fingerboard from Bruce Wei in Taiwan - one of the guys who sells a lot of inlay stuff on Ebay. I ordered this one special, because he doesn't ever list bass fingerboards on Ebay. The body is alder, and the neck is a three-piece laminate of curly hard maple, with a curly maple overlay on the headstock.
The body and neck before finishing:
The finished bass. The body was finished with KTM-9 polished to a high gloss. The neck was finished with Minwax Gloss Wipe-on Polyurethane.
