I believe I was incorrect about the serial number.  
 
Dave is correct.  It has something to do with the work order.

Hi Mica,
when I look at this picture
 
the master volume is beside of the humcancelling from about 2cm and the pickup position is the standard position (on the red tiger). For my bass, the master volume seems to be positioned (?) 2 cm in front AND my pickups are more close of the fingerboard.
On your post Nr 7001 your design on the paper give not the same position as the design on the wood.
Why this difference ?
Could be possible to have a picture of the peghead and the logo ?
Best regards and thank's for this nice work.

The paper one probably has the tracing of the template, which has the pickups positioned like the Red Tiger bass. The template is made specifically for your bass, so that's closer to what is actually drilled. We don't reference off the pickups, so their positions do not matter for drilling. Both images look pretty close from the edge of the body.  
 
I'll get you some more pictures this week. I don't think the logo will be in just yet, but I will keep my eye out for when that is done.

Thank's for your answer Mica, have a Nice day.

sorry double post

Hi Mica, it seems to be the end of the week... Thank for sharing some pictures.

Sorry, I wasn't in the offices much this week, so I didn't catch any great pictures for Factory to Customer threads. However, I can tell you that the logo is now inlaid, and the hardware is installed for the presetup.  
 
I should be at work full time next week until the holiday Thur and Fri.

Thur & fri mean thursday & friday ? But we are thursday...

Hi Pierre; today is a major holiday in the US.  The shop is closed until Monday.

Hi Mica, the turkey was good ?
 

 

Thanks! We had a great feast with family and friends.  
 
Not much of an update on your bass. The hardware was all installed, except the Schallers which we were waiting for. They arrived yesterday so we can proceed!  
 
Here's your black beauty hanging out on the 24th as she waits for the machine heads:

 
It's very likely the bass will return to spray this week and the hardware will get sent to the plater so that the plating and the finish will be done around the same time.

I could appreciate some other pictures like other thread...
The peghead for example.. no ? The back (another example) no ?
Thanks in advance

Here's your bass this evening:

I can't get any closer because it's wet, and the row of instruments I'm standing near is wet too.  
 
Pictures all depend on timing and what I think looks interesting at the time. There is no formula - I just walk through and see what I see. I caught a lot of very interesting shots o fyour bass in the early construction. I would love it if I could draw and take pictures all day, but I have other duties to perform here as well.  
 
Note that this bass is now in the long wait. When the bass is in spray, there's not much to see until it's in the final cure area, which could be 2-3 weeks away.

This bass represents to me a gentlemen in a tuxedo. The blackwood is the jacket, the maple the shirt, the ebony stringers a bow tie and the vermillion the flesh.  
This has to be one of the sharpest and classiest instruments I've seen in a long time.
