Very excited how this bass build turned out! Big thanks to my friend Aaron Hooks for letting me use his shop and knowledge on the body, and to Dan Brunsink for the wood for the body! It's a Cherry body, maple neck with a Seymour Duncan pickup

This has been a busy point for me, and I haven't had time to work on many projects. Hopefully I'll have some new things to update soon, but in the meantime, I'm excited to announce that one of my guitars will be up for auction this Saturday, February 11th! My friend Hannah McCarty is going to Zambia this year, and I am excited to be supporting her fundraising by putting this guitar up for her silent auction; I hope some of you can check out this, and the other items available, and help send Hannah to Zambia!

The bass build is coming together. I chambered the body to reduce weight and added another piece of cherry for the cap. Next up will be routing a curve around the edge and making the neck pocket!

Soon, this slab of Cherry will become a bass!
