[pierreyves]

we will be soon at the end of the week Mica

Now it's complete except dad's final calibration:

 

  As I explained in my email, he bounces between 2 upgrades at a time in case one is "mean" to him he can go to the other one. So your bass and Rich's bass are on his bench right now.

Thank's Mica, effectivly so niiiiice bass BUT I have asked for gold plated hardware. Anyway, what is done.... is done... next time maybe ?

[pierreyves]

sorry but I have a doubt, a friend of mine say no it's gold, it's the picture effect... So what is it ? On my computer I seen it white, specially on the nut and machinehead

[jacko]

It's looking really sweet pierreyves. Not long now! To my eyes the hardware looks to be chromed but it really sets off the dark woods perfectly. I think you're going to be really happy with it.

Very elegant.  Personally, I really like the look of the Chrome (but I can understand your disappointment if it wasn't what you wanted).

[pierreyves]

I agree the chrome too with this bass but I don't like the gold on the pickups with chrome... anyway... it's done !

[mica]

Sorry that I didn't get that change noted on the work order.  
 
It won't be a long delay (just a few days), but I can have either plain or engraved pickups made for this bass.

[pierreyves]

ok Mica, let's go for engraved pickups ONLY if there is no change for delivered delay.
Thanks

[pierreyves]

Pickups have changed for engraved 3 days ago.
Waiting for Mica's pictures and departure (take off) of my bass this week (I hope, Mica said)

Any idea when  you will get your hands on this bass as i'm really looking forward to some video clips of you playing this bass. I bet it is going to sound as beautiful as it looks.

Hi Jazzy, maybe this year ?? Lol... I'M WAITING MICA, the week of the hope is gone. I can't promise you some video but I will try.

[mica]

Dad is still working on the final electronics calibration. This bass is harder than most have been for him. I'll post again tomorrow to let you know if he's completed it or not.

[pierreyves]

May I know the reasons of this harder calibration ? Other basses have same problem ?
