Sweet! Looking very nice Jeff.

BTW - James said I had to move everything i{slightly} closer to the pickups. This is for the neck filter to have enough clearance from the edge of the cavity. We're going to attach a small insulator to the side of the cavity, because we're placing it very close to the edge. Heck , you might not even notice the change is so small.

no problem with that- i could argue with you...
but james.... NEVER!~!!!
lol
i decided against the nuclear flaxinator control

Flax, the nuclear flaxinator control was only supposted to be available on the 40th anniversary series III. Inside sources have shared with me that once you touch the flaxinator knob one should never bite their finger nails again. So chosing against this control was indeed wise.

No need for leds with the nuclear flaxinator control, the entire fretboard glows in the dark.

here is what happened when they tried the control on  
a fender

Hey, Flaxy, it's looking great!  And I love the symmetrical control configuration... you're a man after my own heart!

Just a waitin' for the finish to finish curing for the rubout. The hardware is back from the goldplater, everything is falling into place.

James is cutting out the SCARLET as we speak. Probably needs 2-3 coats of finish after that. QCB scraps should be down at Roger's. I'm going on vacation from th 15-20, and since that's Thanksgiving week, I'll estimate that your bass would be ready the week of 11-26, should be able to ship out that week or the next.  
 
Getting awfully close there!

You're killing me here.
 
Please don't let Jeff finish before mid December.  I couldn't take it.
