mahogany ubass

[Kyle Barbour]

Not a whole lot of progress. The neck is roughly shaped. Bent the eir bindings. I'm hoping to route for the bindings soon if I don't lose power. I'll try to post some pics later. I still have a hard time posting pics on this forum for some reason.

Thanks Kyle, good luck on the storm...be careful above all!

I couldn't resist putting strings on to see hoe it would sound. I can't get it in tune without the bridge being glued down or having a saddle but I had to hear it. I have to finish shaping the bridge and slot the saddle (hopefully close enough for it to be properly intonated) and then hope to start the finish. I think John's recent posts has convinced me to try french polish on this. We'll see how it goes.

Go for it Kyle!

Go for the French polish! the ubass is looking good.
