Well, it's being shipped to Guitar Rez on an undisclosed date, so I guess you could camp out there between now & when it arrives to beat me to it! LOL!

D'oh! Well, I'm sure they could probably care for the bass better than me. Maybe...

They are going to check & adjust the neck after it hits the Texas humidity before I pick it up.

Wow Rusty, that blue burst is amazing. Good call!

Thanks Gregory!

I'm usually not turned on at all by coloured Alembics but that really is a nice blue Rusty.

Thanks Graeme!

I too would prefer a natural wood if I was having a custom build.
 
However I think if it was a white maple wood that was really dramatic like this one, choosing a transparent coloured finish would still allow the natural beauty of the wood to be seen. As you know I have a natural finish maple quilt Series II europa that is as dramatic as this one and I still think visually for me it's too loud and if  I was was choosing the maple quilt for a new build I would have a slight brown/amber tint to tone it down.
 
This one is sure to stand out on stage.

Jazzyvee, your Maple Series II is the bass that made me fall in love with the Europa body. Your bass is stunning! I do want mine to stand out on stage & I think it will also! I can't wait for the next round of pictures!

No doubt about it your bass will make it's presence seen and felt.

Now I need to practice harder to hone my skills & make them worthy of the attention this bass will get!

Hey Mica, are they still spraying clear coat or is it in cure out yet?

That blue is stunning! That is a gorgeous bass?. congratulations on an exquisite instrument!

Thanks Keith!

Any new pictures this week Mica?
