@Digitalscream @Bucket @bluebuddha Tagging in the other resident Extreme fanbois!
I do know that Mr Badger is actively looking for any of the old Mouradian basses, if anybody happens to spot one out in the wild.
Before I was asked to do the build, I'd never knowingly come across the Mouradian/ Chris Squier shape. I'm used to it now and certainly am thoroughly enjoying the build
@digitalscream That's odd, maybe he regrets selling one of his on to that guy in the Extreme tribute band in Asia.
Mentioned in Pat's Amps & Axes interview:

Or maybe the offer was just too high to refuse. Alpacas gotta eat!

Anyway, I think the paint is going to be OK. It has levelled OK and I've been able to cover the one or two thin spots. I think this is going to be alright
Quite elegant in a pretzel kind of way
Have a wow, that's coming together really nicely!
You might not have been aware that Pat Badger became an alpaca farmer after Extreme split. He still keeps a few as "pets".
@digitalscream
That Amps & Axes interview from last month I linked to above has the latest on Pat's alpaca situation, Lee.
You might be more interested in the other content, granted!
For example: Pat tells of how he first met Nuno in Mouradian's shop...
... and we're back on topic, folks!
cheers
I'll leave it a couple of days to harden and then start the final steps - slurry/buffing the neck, finishing off the headstock and fret dressing, shielding the chambers and installing the electrics, then do the final polish in a couple of weeks when I know the varnish is absolutely and fully cured!
I've got to tweak the angle of the jack holder, but this how the wireless Smoothhound will basically fit (or just a cable can be used). The open access for the Smoothhound was an owner request. It's invisible from the front:
I'll post the shots also on the Bass section just in case anyone is interested
...and pleased to report back that the new owner is DELIGHTED with it
