That...

... has to be one of the most tasteful builds I have seen for ever. Simple, stylish and I bet it plays a dream.
Thanks for sharing, TB.

You had me fooled.

Looking at the routing, I thought you were making a fretless P-bass clone. Shame on me.  The Texas Star is a nice touch. Its so ugly, its beautiful    }|:O

P-bass domioes or the soapbar

P-bass dominoes or the soapbar will fit in that rout - less hassle if the customer wants to change it up later on.
