There go my chances at placing in this competition... Very, very nice! If she sounds half as good as she looks then that is an awesome bass. Motivates me to actually make the suitcase stand-up I have been toying with the idea of making.

everyone is unique in their style. Your guitar has some very cool qualities to it. Remember you have details that my bass doesn't have. We don't know what the judges preferences are, so they are all good.

Looks cool. I stumbled upon this while planning my coffin bass out, unrelated to this contest.

G'day from Melbourne, Australia. This is "Voodoo Bass" I custom built this and it was completed about two months ago. I worked on this for over three months designing how to create a cavity to conceal the voodoo beater. It is an actual really beater that has been used in ceremonies. It has a thing about it when you hold it. The pick up is a Bob Harrison custom build which really brings the whole thing together. Cow hide on the back and a real snake head on the headstock. I hope you all like it, if you have any question please ask.
