Hi Jeff,
 
Absolutely gorgeous,the Sistine Chapel with strings!.The Quilted Cocobolo for the top was an inspired choice.It looked beautiful in the pic Mica posted when it had just been cut,but now....!!.
 
Best Wishes,
 
Simon.(Envious Green of Manchester,UK).

Flax, m'man, I'm struck with the thought that you're a man after my own heart!
 
I feel a sense of commonality with you, seeing this gorgeous bass with BTC Coco Bolo on the front and back, the gorgeous Flame Maple outer neck laminates, the REALLY cool custom neck (that is very similar to the one on my 6-String custom in progress) AND your custom electronics package.  And you're also a fan of narrow string spacing.  In many ways, this bass is one of the closest to my two Alembics conceptually, and practically.
 
Hey, everyone has complimented your new bass on its incredibly awesome top... but wow... the freakin' back is unbelievably awesome as well... let's not overlook that!!!
 
I salute you sir!  You've spec'ed one serious HARD CORE bass here!

thanks mark- am, flattered- hey the flaxneck now has its own template..  
once in a while you get shown the light....
yeah the back looks great, cant wait to see the plates on the bloomin onion' as i like to call the back, but give credit to bob for the masterful tummy carve and the way those grains came out.
where else does the buyer have such input to spec out the layout of their instrument. and that back piece didnt present itself that well in the original shots mica showed us. great range of coco colors- light dark red orange
I AM ONE LUCKY GUY...
is this the first photo of jason? now when i call he will know who i am;- lmao
in case nobody noticed- i opted for gold plated hardware and roger is making solid qcb knobs with mop dots- no holding back at this point...
