Olie,
 
I thought we decided you had a chocolate fingerboard?
 
Melts in your mouth, not in your hand.

Today your bass got the first part of the rub out completed:

 Any day now that tape will come off and I can take a picture of the inlays all together for you, but here's a couple I took right after they were done:

Olie,
 
Interesting choice of verse.  Especially since everyone will mistake it for that other verse in John 3.

Bradley, I almost decided against this verse for that very reason, people will mistake it for 3:16.  
Read it in the NLV (3:6) and it becomes a little more clear. The music that will be made with this bass will be born of the spirit within. The bass, although it will out live my body, will not last forever but the music that will come from within it will last forever.

From the New Living Translation;
John 3:6 Humans can reproduce only human life, but the Holy Spirit gives birth to spiritual life.

I hear you.
 
The story of Nicodemus is one of my favorite stories of the bible: the elder, respected member of society who finds himself dissatisfied with his life sneaks off to find greater truth.  When he gets to the teacher, he is told that, essentially, everything he has known and lived must be re-formed, regenerated, renewed, refreshed, re-birthed.
 
From a later verse: The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh or whither it goeth.  Like the music: I'm not sure where it comes from, or where it goes, but I hear the sound of it.

Glad to contribute any way I can - I continue to be amazed every time I look at the latest photos - it continues to surpass.  
 
And maybe I'm just a little happy it will be living in Texas just down the road
