Starting the Finish...

 

[Travis]

Since I know Karl reads this forum from time to time, I'll just ask this here - What's being used to finish the fret(less)board? Epoxy? Lacquer?

 

[Son of Magni]

Trav, the fingerboard will be unfinished. Ebony can take a massive amount of punishment, as Steve can attest

Edit: Hey btw, I grew up on Lake Rd in Ballston Lake, small world eh?

 

[Son of Magni]

Shiny!

the signature looks KILLER!

 

[Disincarnate]

yo Steve,what do you think about a single cut 5 string made..that'll look killer imo.

[Corpsebass]

Congratulations!! Looks like the project is complete, can't wait to see that beast in action!

 

[Son of Magni]

Not quite complete, but getting close. And I need to get my playing time in on it

Hey Steve, are the knobs on your 5'er brown or black? I don't remember and can't tell for sure from the pictures...

[(The bass player)]

That bass is looking really fucking awesome, great craftmanship and I bet it sounds killer to!

 

[Son of Magni]

I'll miss it!

 

[Jason Washburn]

I bet it is pretty heavy

 

[israel]

I bet it is pretty heavy

And I bet it SOUNDS heavy too

 

[Son of Magni]

Ok, I found 3 snippets that show the sound of the bass and aren't too embarrassing

This is me on bass, Valhalla on keys, Skarp Hedon on guitar, and Robin on congas.
