Still needs some more blue, and I swear it's not clear in the middle!  

 

  Getting there - more pics next week. We won't stop until it matches the Blue Orca inlay.

Much better than the green tint! I know it's a work in progress, but it is getting there! Keep the pictures coming!

  On my monitor the color is somewhere between these two pictures, but the vibrancy is what you see in the one on the carpet. Despite the tinges to the blue hue in the images, there is no purple or green. I just blocked out the routes with black as I found them distracting.   It looks amazing!

There are reflections of the handle of my monopod on the left face of the bass.

Wow, it looks like ripples of water that Orca can swim though and ride playfully on their wakes!
Very soothing look

Not just a bass, this is an Alembic!

The blue is just electric. Good things do come to those patient enough to wait.

Rusty, I think you have some new Blue to review!
 
Looks great.

Yes Richard, indeed I do! While the new blue is under review, I will reserve my judgment until I determine the hue. While Mica assures me this color is not true, I have no doubt it will make me Woo Hoo!

So after talking to Mica & playing with some photo filters, she tells me this is closer to the color of the bass & I love it! It is getting clear coat now, so the next round of pictures should be pretty spectacular! I can't wait!
