interesting pickup placements. the bridge looks closer to a MM sweet spot. Neck pickup far north toward the neck.
Got any soundclips? love that neck, its gorgeous!

Beautiful build! Is it heavy? I'm using a 3/4in bubinga top on my current build and it's some very dense stuff!

It's literally an anchor. There's a reason that all of the Warwick brand bubinga basses were always tiny in size... lol.

Thank you so much! i love it too, and with every seasonal change it gives off more syrupy smell.

Sound Clips to follow.

I have to ask but how many of the 24 frets are usable?

Curious though why the cutaways are not more ergonomic.

I've got those 7 foot-guy limbs and fingers, no reach issues thankfully. Weight would be the first of any ergo concerns.

I see if it works for you that is the main thing...
