Olie's Custom Bass

[David Houck]

Beautiful!!!

[Bradley Young]

Olie,
 
Looks like they swapped out your fingerboard-- this time with dark chocolate!  I'd guess at least 60% cocoa.
 
And the inlay is sweet!

Olie:
 
Absolutely choice!  Kicks butt on any PRS bird!  
 
And  
 
... are you sitting down?
 
... the  source for that chocolate fretboard  
 
...has to be  
 
... Dove!!!!!
 
(I can hear the moans already.)  lol
 
Bill, tgo

Bradley, don't tell my wife, she's a chocoholic.

Bill my kids would call that an Olie-Joke. They say I'm the king of corn. (Of course I thought was this big tall greann cat) It did make me laugh though.  
 
I agree Dave, they did an awesome job on the Dove.

Mica, did ya catch the puns in my post above? After the story about your dad I just couldn't help it!

At first I wasn't sure what you were saying, but I finally got it, and it didn't even have to be radioed to me.  
 
We call them Ron-Jokes over here. No puns allowed at court in   Ridicule.

[olieoliver]

I promise no puns in court, I wouldn't want to rain on their parade.

Olie -  
 
The dove is stunning - I can't wait to see the finished product in Dallas!  
 
I didn't realize until I read Mike's post that we had hosted 3 gatherings in 11 months, but clearly we'll be hosting a fourth when your new arrival hits town and you can put it in the case long enough to drive across town!
 
Congratulations on an absolutely stunning instrument!

wow!
 
yep, definitely will own me an Alembic before I leave this mortal coil!!
 
such a great fingerboard layout Olie!

[mica]

Your bass is back in spray now:

[David Houck]

That's a great top!  I love it!

[tbrannon]

Two thoughts came instantly to mind when I saw your top Olie:
1. Somebody melted your bass (meant in the 'green with envy because it's such an insanely cool top' kind of way)
2. Looks like a topo map- and I want to hike that bad boy.
 
Looking very nice.

[olieoliver]

Thanks guys, I agree that they picked out an awesome top for this bass, (the back is pretty sweet too).
 
I can hear Carly Simon singing again....

Wow, between the gorgeous top and those inlays, this is really going to be special. Can't wait to see the finished product.

[olieoliver]

Hi Mica, any chance of seeing the other inlays on the bass itself? Just a little curious as to how they look against the ebony.
 
Thanks,
lie
