Well I did get some work done this week, not nearly the amount I wanted to but what can you do! I was able to make my neck template for the 4-string TBM Koa top bass, you can see it in the picture. I also put a picture of some of the wood I got in, 3 Hard Maple neck blanks and a Mahogany neck blank. I did do what I thought was going to be the final sanding on the Koa top body but after I got it sanded down I saw some spots on the sides that needed some attention and one spot on the top. I think this should do it I HOPE! Well let me know your thoughts post
some comments if you like. I should be able to get the neck cut out and ruffed in this week. Until then, Play On!

3/12/2010 Update
No pictures this week but I now have more wood in to finish the TBM Koa top bass and more. I do need some parts as well but I have enough to get started on getting things cut out and shaped. I hope to get some work done this Sunday. This TBM Koa top bass is the main bass I am working to get finished at the moment. Since this is the first in a four string design, I need to creat the template for the neck. I will be doing that this weekend along with the final sanding to the body. I will also if time allows start on another MG-1 4 string, which will be for sale and you will have the choice in color and hard ware. It will have a Poplar body, Hard Maple neck with Rosewood f-board. Let me know if you are interested. I hope to have some real progress done this week and some photos to prove it. As always PLAY ON!

3/1/2010 update
I don't have much to show in way of completed guitars. I did get the TBM Koa top bass body grain filled minus a couple of spots on the back which you can see the shinny spots in the photo. I need to do one final sand all the way around it and it will be ready for paint, I HOPE! Swamp Ash just takes a while to fill those grains, you think you have it and you sand it down and then you see all the spots missed. So I hope this will be the last of the grain filling. Also I am waiting on wood to come in which it should be here today. I am getting some Hard Maple for necks and a Hard Maple f-board in, for a future bass. Check the Pictures and I will hope to have more soon.
Thanks,
