My dear friend.....as we speak nearly every day, I'm so pleased for you, and just glad that Lissa agreed to let you have a Custom.
Personally, I'd have moved the front pup closer to the neck, but that's just me.
I've got vermillion and walnut in my Series 1 and the combination is great!!!
Speak to you tomorrow!!

Congrats, Rusty! I look forward to pix of the work in progress!

The series II / Europa combination is terrific (while you probably already considered it, I use the pickup selector switch for its standby function as much or more than to select an individual pickup). Your selections will result in a beautiful instrument you will enjoy for a long time. Congratulations.

This is excitement similar to seeing MRI images of your child to be born. It's ALIVE!!!!!! Congrats and enjoy the experience.

Thanks George! The front pup is in the same location as it is on Coco, I can't move it any closer with the truss cover there.

Thanks Jon! I have a mute switch on my tuner with a footswitch, so I don't need the standby function either. It's just one more knob to get in my way.

Gotta love Ruthenium!

Congrats! A Series II Europa is my current dream bass. Can't wait to see this one come to life.

Love the Oceanburst John!

Jerry, yours is the only other bass I have seen the Ruthenium on & it looks great! I love your custom knobs too & have contacted Roger at THG about making me some too, but I haven't come up with a design yet.

Thanks Edwin! I think it's going to be an amazing bass!
