Mica,
 
     Any updates?  I called last week and was told it was awaiting inlays.  If that is still the case, no reply is necessary.
 
Thanks,
 
Alan

Your bass is ready for the inlays, and the first ones to go in will be the silver webs. I've got to prepare the artwork for the note for note inlays yet, but James probably won't be needing it for at least a couple of weeks, so I'm not holding any work up (yet!). The plan is for James to put in a few hours a week on this inlay project until it's completed.  
 
But since your bass has a good deal of the finish on it now, I'll make sure I take a picture for you before the end of the day. It looks really nice!

Hi Alan,  Here's the pics of your bass with some finish in place:

  and up close to see some detail:

 There's a nice blend of quilt and bird's-eye figure.   I did get your kind email, and I've been thinking about what would be good. I'll either call or email you in the next few days to talk about it more.   Hope you have anice weekend!

Alan,
as I already said in a previous post: I am jealous....
Wow, this will be a great bass.
I am really eager to see it finished someday....
 
Take care my friend

I'm just mulling over the inlays now. Once I get to the part where I'm making decisions about the final forms, it's agonizing! You're very likely to see some mock ups toward the end of next week.
