Well today was pretty sweet, got to sleep in a bit, watched a little Eureka (that awesome sci-fi show) and picked up the BassBoost prototype from the machinist! Wanna see? I know you do! (Well, at least I KNOW, Alex, Ben, and Quinton do!)

That’s it for now, I’ll take some better pictures after I silicon it. At the moment it weights 65.6 grams, has a diameter of 1.96″ and a width of 1.644″. The gap is slightly smaller than the bearing is wide  or .148″. Can’t wait for the silicon to dry, I’m going to be making a clip video to tease you guys when it’s ready to throw

Met with the machinist in person for the first time today, sounds like he’ll be able to get me an official prototype by the end of the week! Just wanted to let you guys know the wheels are rolling on the BassBoost! Once I have the prototype I’ll start testing it and getting some prices on anodizing 50 of the yo-yo’s black and laser engraving the DTI logo, website, and “BassBoost” into the side of the yo-yo. I’ll keep you guys updated as I get more info!
