I prefer the Raging Bass Accent Laminates, but Can I get this style in price which I promised with Susan and Beaver??
 
If I can, I will go to Raging Bass Accent Laminates for my bass.

I prefer the Signature Deluxe which the lamination boost in front the nicest of woods...(??)

Hi, Pierreyves~
Thanx for your comments.  
But, I cannot understand what you mean;;;;
Frankly speaking, I am poor at English.

shim

And, Mica~ I have a questions.
 
I wonder what means Tummy contour.
I want to get the bass like Raging bass, so I included option Tummy contour like it, but, I don't know what the Tummy contour. Can you explain that option?
 
 And.....
If I want to change my spec... instead of Tummy contour and Avalone inlay, can I change them to additional treble and bass cut/flat/boost switch?
I know the price of them is same the cost to install the additional switches.  
 
Please answer my question~ Thanx.

shim

Oh.... I did mistake....
I want to install Fatboy for bridge. and AXYs for neck.  
If you check my words, please answer for me.

mica

Not a problem, Shim. The pickup leads will be long enough that you can swap them around if you want to try the other configuration. We will supply with FatBoy in the bridge position and regular AXY in the neck.

shim

Mica, did you see my questions? :D
I'm waiting for your answer, but I think, I must go to sleep for next day.  
I hope to get your answer in tommorow morning.
Thanx. Always. :D

Shim, that is a picture of the tummy contour.  The one that shows the Raging bass accent laminates.  That concavity makes the bass more comfortable to hold since the edges don't dig into your ribs.

mica

Your bass has tummy contour specified. This is the tummy contour on Raging Bass
 

 
This is an extra carving that helps the bass stay in closer to your body with greater comfort.  
 
You expressed an interest in exchanging this feature for bass and treble switches. Please let me know.

mica

I can confirm the accent laminates like Raging Bass for your order, Shim.  
 
I made a new thread for discussing exchanging the tummy contour for bass and treble switches. Please look there for details.  
 
Friday is the last day I can accept any changes on your order, because we need to start building it on Friday to meet your delivery requirement.

shim

Ok...I know what the Tummy contour means.
So... My choice is.... I want to change the only Avalone inlay option to one of the switches, and remain the Tummy contour option. And about the additional cost for one remaining switch, I'll pay for that. Okay? :D

mica

From the tummy contour thread, you're asking to change from abalone inlays to the standard mother of pearl. Let me know if I've understood this correctly.

shim

Pierreyves , Thanx your additional explaination for me.  
So, I have the question.  
How much the laminated body influence the sound of bass?? For example, what is the difference between the simple laminated body, and additional accent laminated body in their sound??

mica

From the tummy contour thread, I understand that you want to add:
 
bass cut/flat/boost
treble cut/flat/boost
 
to affect the overall sound of the bass. These switches will be partially paid for by change from abalone inlays to mother of pearl. I'll add the FatBoy pickup and the switches to the order, adjusting for the inlays, and send the new details to Beaver in the morning.  
 
Thanks for taking care of all these issues, Shim. Now we can get the work started on your bass. Soon I'll be posting pictures in the build record area.
