Here are some new pics of the back of the Wedge. We love the look of the Mineral Streaked Tiger Maple. The back is carved into the sides giving it a very rounded feel, super comfortable on my body in the seated position.

OK so we have the blues, or should I say the blueburst. This bass should be in tow at Bass Player Live in October. Quilt Maple Top, Mahogany back. The neck is Maple with a Ziricote fingerboard and Headcap. Stay tuned to see the progress of this sexy beast.

OK we've finally gotten around to putting the wedge in "The Wedge". The next step in the evolution is to glue the back wood on, in this case a book-matched piece of mineral streaked figured maple. Larry from Aero is hard at work building the custom pickup, which should be here in a couple of weeks. In the meantime we'll be cutting the pickup route, drilling holes for the electronics, and starting on the finishing. I'm starting to see light at the end of the tunnel.

Steve's bass is in the booth at the moment. Just put some vinyl sealer and a nitro washcoat on before filling the pores of the Mahogany. Next we'll get some clear coats on, and prepare the Mahogany for a red/brown color coat.
