impressionnant

Hi Mica, as said by mail, I want a master volume but, when I use my koa bass I often move a little this knob unfortunatly... and the volume become greater of course !!
Have you solution to have a best position for this option ?

So here's a familiar look neck in the press:

  and a little farther along...

 There's a little detail that I didn't talk to you about, but instead of the usual Walnut veneers in the peghead, we used Ebony. It's super hard to do, but for your bass, it just had to be this way. I hope you like it.

Ooops! I almost forgot to share this one of the peghead veneers in the clamps:

 
So just slightly out of order.

Mica, you have all my confidence for this nice work. Thank's, It will be a great bass.

Nice touch on Headstock, you're fortunate Pierre.

Hey Pierre, are you planning a fancy inlay on this bass?
Perhaps a Jararaca all over the neck?  
 
Greg

I don't know if I'm fortunate but I will certainly very happy at the end of this nice story !!
No inlay, just something sober, abalone simple inlays.
I don't have jararaca but european adders, one baby bite me 5 days ago ... no pain... nothing, just like a wasp...
here they are:

I have more dangerous, a mexican copperhead:

But I must be very carefully with me....

Ok Mica, I changed MS PC for Imac and now I lost my photoshop !! Anyway, Mac is soooo best... I can wait to have the best picture editor.
Here is a picture for the position knobs/switch I want. If you have best proposition, I will agree.
 

precision: put the stereo 5 pin and jack outputs at the same position as standard series I. Maybe just a little higher to let some place for the bridge pickup q-switch. But not like my koa bass ) Thank's

Your copperhead is amazing...  
We've captured last week, with the help of professionals, a rattlesnake crossing my street (Crotalus durissus collilineatus).  
But back to your bass, that headstock is going to be beautiful!!
Congratulations!!
 
Greg

Mica please forget the first idea, I was thinking this night because not to much sleep.
This is the best idea for me:
 

 
Please, position the pointer knob of the pickup selector as Stanley's bass, thank's

Hey Pierre, do you know that one of brazilian's most respected zoologist is Paulo Emilio Vanzolini is also a poet and music composer? He lives in S?o Paulo (as me and Greg) and wrote in 1951 the lyrics of one remarkable samba-bolero called Ronda (translates as Inspection or maybe Prol).
 

 
As far as I know, he owns the biggest collection of brazilian's frogs and reptiles. He is retired now, but teached in USP (S?o Paulo State University) and co-wrote musics with Chico Buarque de Holanda and Toquinho (big names in brazilian popular music from the 60's and 70's).

I knew Chico Buarque but not Paolo Vanzoli, great guy and thank's Mario to make my knowledge bigger. If Brazil was not so far (I hate plane...) I would come...
