I like the the truss rod cover. Are the pickups going to match?

I have sent a set of DR Sunbeams, 45-130, to you c/o Valentino.

Looking great, guys!
 
Olie, no, thet're regular.

Cool. That's probably how I would have done it too. The top on this axe looks incredible. I's love to see a shot of the finished rear.
Very nice bass Charles.

Frets in now:

 
Getting ready to do the black hardware shortly. Will keep you posted on the inlay artwork real soon here.

Oh, my...
This is really looking sweet, guys.
 
Would asking for a pic of the finished back be greedy?

Another incredibly beautiful bass.  Wow.  Time to pour the drool out of my keyboard again...

Back lam with finish:

I am speechless.  
 
Thank you, Mica, and everyone who is building this beauty!

This is going to be one of the most killer basses I've seen in a while. This is really knocking me out. Cheers Charles!

Hi Charles,  Here's the mock-up I sent by email earlier today:

  And here's the revised line art:

 Let me know if I've emphasized that "omega" area enough for you.   And finally, here's the back of your peghead with the mockup scaled to show placement:

Okay, so I think I understand about the omeega shape you were going for:

Let me know if this is more what you had in mind.

Perfect!
 
Thanks, Mica.

Charles-
It's looking beautiful.  The back of that neck is LUSH!
 
The darkstars arrived yet?

Thanks, Toby!
 
Yes, they're here and installed...the SF is at the shop having the bridge and tailpiece installed right now.  Hopefully I'll have pics this week!
