Hi, I think that most of those who might be interested in such things will already have spotted this in the 'Making and Modding' section
here, but for anyone who hasn't and might be interested at least seeing the finished article, this is my latest completed bass build, the 'Psilos' bass:
In terms of overall spec it's:
- Integrated fretboard and body, radiused at 20"
- Piezo under saddle; custom individual magnetic coils (hidden); John East MPM-02 blend
- Sycamore / maple / ebony construction
- Modified headless tuner system
- Master vol; blend; piezo tone; magnetic tone
- DR Neon White strings (seen in last pic)
The finish is Osmo Raw 3044 - silky smooth finish and designed specifically to preserve the freshly sanded colour of the woods.
To everyone's surprise it sits absolutely right on the strap and over the knee....that bit was definitely fluke

I know what you mean - took me a while to get used to the shape myself. Playing it, though, all reservations of the look evaporate...
Nice meeting and chatting with you Andy
Cos

They were Mick's first hold and just taken on my crappy phone but it gives an idea
stunning, it looks like its moving, very clever.
