Finished Pics! Swift Lite 4-string 34" bass

Thanks folks   soldered up the pots but reckon I've put in the wrong type of blend pot.  Seem to remember similar issues once before.  Ordered two more ...one of them must be the right one!

By the time that's arrived and fitted, the finish will be hard enough for the final micro- mesh so I reckon will get it by next weekend

Another stunning instrument Andy! I love the familial similarities between your builds but they’re still all unique.

By the wonders of Photoshop used by an incompetent, here is a mocked up photo of the whole line:

Sickeningly great work Andy, that is a beautiful, unique and lovely thing you've created there. A work of art indeed.

All in the plan, my boy, all in the plan

I've already posted the news in the 'Bass' section, but I was pleased as Punch and as smug as Cameron to have just had this build awarded the prestigious 'Bass of the Week' in the US-based bass guitar and guitarist e-zine 'No Treble' 

  The article is here for anyone who wants to print it off and throw darts at it
