The bass is done:

 
It's hanging outside my office at the moment. I need to complete my inspection and photos, then Mary must give it her final blessing before it's ready to ship. If everything goes well on those fronts, we should be ready to ship to you early next week.  
 
My dad said today that this bass compels you to look at it.

Ron always seems to hit the nail on the head, compels you to look at it. Really, I find this top to be quite mesmerizing. Jon, congrats on a stunning instrument.

WOW!
 
That reptilian quilt is exactly what I had in mind, but Mica and Susan found it the first time.  Thank you so much; I love it.
 
I can't wait to see the back.

Like Enzo, not my favourite shape, but probably the best quilt I've ever seen!
 
Enjoy her

I love the shape, so much so that I'm seriously considering discussing a 5 string option for my 1/2 century in 2 years time. The Quilt on this one is fantastic too.

Jacko I think you should have one, maybe with series electronics to make it a really special 1/2 century treat. I tried one out at the UK Alembic dealers place last summer with signature electronics and it sounded incredible.

Man, if there was ever a piece of wood that screamed dragon scales louder, I'd love to see it.  Perfect match of model & figure, if'n you was to ask me.

Mica, in reading some of the recent Club comments about the brightness of side LEDs and your note about a three-way switch (off-low-high), would you please install a three-way LED switch on my bass?  Thanks.
