Great pic, congrats! I suspect that client is going to be in the market for an upgrade to an upright bass(inet) before you know it

cheers,
andrew

Ha! What a cutie!
So, how would you describe the tone of this one? Too much bottom end?

Congratulations! I must be getting old -- can't really tell whether this one will turn into a parlor, an OM, or a complete custom effort...

best of luck

I bet he has great mids and high end but I suspect he may be a bit weak in the bass [right now] but I am confident that will develop over the next several years

Congratulations Chris.

Congratulations!
