When I first saw the wood, I thought yuck, but seeing it in context it looks really, really nice.  *Really* nice!

There's still the calibration and final inspection to finish, but here's your bass today:

The tape is holding the humcanceller in place until it receives the final approval from my dad.  
 
There are 2 calibrations in front of yours, so for a little while, your bass will just be waiting in line. But you might as well see how it's shaping up!

Really pretty and an amazing sandwich.  I guess mahogany and the switch is for LEDs?
