Hi, I saw this plate when I was there last week. They want it to be perfect to the MM. So you have to be patient......

Hi Pierre-Yves,
 
As I emailed you yesterday, your bass is in spray. If my timing isn't good, I can't take a good picture because when the bass is sanded and ready for the next coat of finish, there isn't anything to see except a bunch of dust.  
 
Today, I was lucky (I a suppose you were too) since I found your bass in preset - this is when the bass is about one third of the way through finish and we install the frets and make the hardware ready for the plating.  
 

 
Looks beautiful!

The contrast between the body, the accent lam, and the top is wonderful!

That is seriously stunning! I love the wide accent lam.
 
So, I am curious what JDS stands for. I've noticed that in a number of instruments. Also what does the other writing mean?

Marvellous... Hope it for my little Christmas  
Yess Edwiun, Mica, What mean JDS ? Thank's for update Mica.
How many stage of spray you do on your instrument ?

I'm guessing that JDS is someone's initials who maybe routed the body - or at least did something on the instrument to this point.
 
I believe the 14759 is the numeric bit of the serial number.  Only lacking the year and letter code.

David Houck

I believe the initials are probably the person who carved the instrument.  And I'm thinking the number is not the serial number but the work order number.  Those are my recollections from past threads.

Pierre I really believe you made a wise choice with the blackwood top and that wide maple laminate. It looks like it will be a sweet looking bass.
