Beautiful work, absolutely mesmerizing watching you go through step by step. One thought I had was that you did all the fretwork before cutting the back of the neck; have you ever found necks to move after being shaped, and needing the fretwork redone? Thank you for sharing your work!!!
I have never had to redo fretwork after shaping a neck, though I have seen necks gain a slight backbow after putting the frets in. Usually I find that multilaminate necks don't tend to have much movement when they are shaped.
This bass looks great. I just hope that the smell when you were working the zebra wood was not as bad as the smell was when I used some to make a native American style wooden flute. Just suffice to say it was not pretty.
Looks like the Icarus inlay for the Epiphone Ghosthorse Explorer! Rad build
Orbital Guitars. Is the name in honour of your heroic efforts working that ROS on the horns of that instrument? Nice work on that bass.

Que bonito trabajo, a los niños se les debe inculcar el amor por la musica desde su nacimiento, y así se forman ciudadanos decentes y productivos.

Unfortunately, Zebrawood always has that smell
@DEA-I-H FVCK DES-I-ROYER The simplest way to describe it is to say that it's like wet dog smell, but stronger
GREAT work! Could you tell me please where I can source some Zebrawood like yours for some trim work on my boat. Thank you very much, Ray.
This is where I got the Zebrawood for this build: www.woodworkerssource.com/search.html?Search=zebrawood
What kind of sander bit is that for the body contour?
