Hello, Lars,
I've responded to every one of your threads to tell you how much I like the shapes of your guitars. This electric bass, although quite a departure from your acoustic guitars, is no exception. I think it's a beautiful, exciting shape and the whole instrument is beautifully built.

Thank you all so much for the kind words [:Y:]

.

Patrick, yes its a little away from my usual acoustic shapes haha. Thanks you my friend for your words, meen alot to me indeed. [:Y:]

Tony. I was actually thinking for a while on how to make some form of rosette on it haha.

Agree on the back, I like it to hehe.

will post some more once its fully polished and electronics are at their place. used the mike pope Flexcore preamp, but i am abit lost on with electronics.
if anyone is good with it, let me know, I really need some help with how to connect the pickups, neck pickup is a normal 2 wire Delano JC4 HE/M2 and bridge is a twin 4 wired DJC4 HE/M2. if checking out mike popes flexcore page youll se the balance board on a photo thats where the wires are supposed to go in, i am going for series connection i think, where do i put the wires and how best do i shield/ ground it. hmmm. anyone

...

All the best, Lars.
