Mica-
 
Can you please confirm that you got this last email about not placing the bass on hold and proceeding with construction?  I just want to make sure that there is not any miscommunication or hold ups on the bass.
 
Thanks,
 
Andy

Mica-
 
Any updates or progress on the bass?
 
Thanks,

It's in the final curing stage for the finish now. It will likely be in a state for my dad to begin the  electronics calibration in a couple of weeks.

Pretty much looks the same, but here it is curing:

Beautiful. This web site is really bad for my GAS.

I really like the grain pattern on that top.  Even with all the crazy quilted coco bolo that's been showing up on instruments lately I think that this is my all time favorite top.

Thanks for the compliments!  As Mica can assure you, we spent a lot of time finding the top and back that were just right.  She did a great job and I am really excited to see this baby completed...

Andy,
 
That's going to be one very cool bass.  I really love my Europa/Series bass.  A picture of my bass is in the Showcase section.  Your bass is going to have a few more goodies compared to mine but I think it will give you an idea of what the finished product will look like.
 
I look forward to seeing your finalized bass.
 
Best Wishes,
Bones

Love the Europa/Elan basses, and to see such a gorgeous instrument design fitted out with that absurd Coco Bolo and the full Series II package is just too much.  Andy, you are one lucky dog.

[ampeglb100]

Thanks all for the compliments...
 
Mica, any updates and/or idea when this bass will be completed?
 
Thanks,
 
Andy

Getting closer - the finish was rubbed out yesterday:

That's why it looks sort of dull and chalky in this photo.  
 
Should get buffed within a few days. Then it's setup / calibration / inspection. If everything goes as planned (as sometimes it does), we should be shipping this bass by the end of the month.
