With the black painted instruments, it's really variable and I can't really make even an educated guess yet. Let's see when it gets out into setup, then we can take a guess at it.

I will have some photos before it's completely completed, and there may be something to see in the next week or so.

The inlays really are amazing, but that finish is killer!

I saw your bass getting some setup love today. It's not done just yet, but it is getting very very close.

And...
 
 

 
Just one little thin left to finish up, please check the changes/additions section for some last minute change I am suggesting.  
 
Of course Mary hasn't yet inspected, I haven't played it (lefty? well I'll try!), but it's darn near done.

Wow, amazing!
I thought the hardware was going to be chrome?
A real beauty regardless!

Wow is right, Doug - you were also right about the chrome. I got a little ahead of myself there. Anyway, I can now officially proclaim it DONE:
 

 
Since there wasn't hardly any light where the bass was hanging, I lightened it up in Photoshop so you could see the flame figure is really there. Don't mind all the weird reflections, it's just a snapshot.
 
Looks sweet!
