That's a pretty board you have there, Ivan!  Mine should be up here pretty soon too.  The wait is excruciating isn't it?

Hi Mica
You ever got the email with my answer about the wood choices? Any new pics?

Hi Mica
 
Did you get my last 2 emails regarding the availability of my wood choice and the expected time frame?

Hi Ivan,
 
Your peghead is ready to cut out, but I want to alert you of a change that we've made due to the change in the post size on the machine heads.  
 
Here's what the standard 5-string Crown peghead shape looks like now:

Note the tuning keys are arranged with 2 on the top and 3 on the bottom.

I didn't have my camera in tow today, but I saw the body of your bass fully assembled, with the interior sealer coat drying. Looks like it will get to be joined to the neck next week.

Hi Mica
No Problem. It's unusual but so will the whole bass be :-)
 
Thanks
Ivan

I hope you like the look of the wood.
