The single Ebony lam is a great idea! That along with the pickups, electronics, body style, and that btc flame make this a really unique bass!

Toby

I love that neck, Toby! The pinstripes and the ebony are classy as heck! I bet that thing is gonna sound great!

Thanks Charles- I'm sure you understand how I'm feeling right now. The progress shots on your bass probably floored you each time you saw an update (I know they floored me!)- that's what's happening with this one for me. It's all I had hoped for and more.

VERY nice! Love that ebony neck lam with the pinstripes. Way cool!

I 'borrowed' the single neck lam idea from the Orion that Eric had built.

I asked for a 'honey' finish... something a little darker, more amber/orange than the normal amber finish. Looking at the overspray on the neck tape I'd say they hit the ball out of the park on the color.

Looking sharp, Toby-I can't wait to see it reach completion.

I love the top and the neck lams.

It's getting closer, now it's rubbed out, just patiently waiting for it's turn on the setup bench:

Ooops! This one was from last week:

This is after the final coat of finish is rubbed out and before the bass is buffed.

Awesome!! Thanks Mica.

When it's time to ship can you shoot me an email and confirm delivery day? My wife and I have a few busy weeks ahead and I want to make sure it arrives on a day when somebody will be home.

Toby

Absolutely! We will always confirm that someone will be home for delivery before we ship. Additionally, the package is marked for the service adult signature only so that they can't be tempted to merely leave it on the doorstep.

This is turning out really nice! Very cool combination of features!
