CAD and prep - 28 April
I planned out side view of the bass to look at the neck angle see how everything works together. You can see how nice and efficiently the C bouts make space for the bow when you compare the side view to the front plan. Also the point where the octave is on the strings is marked and it compares nicely to the curve of the ribs there, so the upper bouts shouldn't get in the way, rather provide a comfortable reference point for thumb position.
Next I compared the size of the bass to other instruments. It's about as much smaller than the Amati bass as it is larger than the little Maggini Delmas. It is slightly smaller than the bass that I made for Magnus.I've also been working on neck fitting bits, but waiting for a better photo opportunity.
