dang dude his is pretty cool also, but i like your's because it's based off Jason's, but has some upgrades done to it for more tonal control, congrats Flip. i would love to have a 5 string, 3 pickup Elan almost exactly like yours(classic taper for me though) you lucky dog. hope that i'll be able to steal some of your ideas(as for the electronics) whenever i get a real job ;-). play her well, for all of our sakes :-)

At long last  your new baby will be on it's way home.  
Great case for it too.  I look forward to some you tube clips of your new bass too.

Seeing this done doesn't help my ever increasing desire to have my new black custom done and in my hands.
 
That's a gorgeous bass. `m/ `m/

This is one bass I'm very glad to see completed headed to someone I think is very deserving. Congrats, Flip.

The picture of the bass in that case is pretty impressive.

12th fret inlay

Is it possible/advisable to have the initials cut out of the 12th fretmarker?
Something like this:

BTW: I don't mind if there's little contrast and the initials are kind of hidden.  
I think it's cool if it's only to be seen at close inspection, just like the Flame Maple top.

Knobs layout

Here's a very poor visualisation of my take on the knobs layout:
 

 
Also I would like to have the old hat style knobs.

I'm having second thoughts on the P pickup on/off switch...
 
Can you see if it's possible and if it is quote me for a 4 way pickup selector switch?
1. P only
2. P with J (from the bridge/neck pan)
3. J only (from the bridge/neck pan)
4. Standby
 
Placed (Centred) above the bridge and neck Filter, under the bridge (downtown) :-)
 
Thanx
