Any ideas on these yet? I am really interested if we're going to be able to do a crucifix inlay or will we have to do a plain cross.

Hi Mica, I sent an email but thought you may check here first.  
I was wondering if you could email me a high-resolution picture of the front of my bass. I am thinking about getting some knobs made by THG and would like to send a good picture to Roger so he and I can start brain storming about what to make. I really only need the body in the shot.  
 
Thanks, Olie

Mica, may I get someone to call me about the inlays please. I've tried calling and emailing to no avail. I?ve had a serious change of mind on the inlays.
If you prefer that I call you please post here when is best and I will call you.  
Seems like we've hit a road block on the bass. If there has been or is a problem please let me know.
 
Thanks, Olie

I'll give you a call tomorrow between 10-11 our time.  
 
Did you get the photo you requested for designing the knobs?

olieoliver

Yes I got the photo. Thanks.

I thought I'd stoke the fire a little to see if you have any updates for me.
 
Oh come on Mica throw this old dog a bone.  LOL

Olie, if it makes you feel any better, the wait for inlay work was by far the longest portion of my build, and of many others, as well.  Probably, you'll get plenty of time to exercise your patience.  :-)

Roger sent me a photo of two of my knobs. They're not finished yet so they should look real awesome with a shine on them.

?! Now, how are ya gonna close that laptop? Microsoft is always talking about improving the look and feel of Windows - that'll do it!
 
That's a killer bass there, Olie. Definitely got yourself some fine coco bolo!

Please make sure there's 2 set screws on those knobs - otherwise it's nearly impossible to mount in a level fashion.

I emailed Roger and he assured me that the knobs have 2 set screws each.
