Brian's Custom Rogue

[briant]

I so needed this to take my mind off other things. :-)
 
That looks absolutely amazing and I'm sure it's even more amazing in person!  I could not possibly be happier with how it looks.  It is absolutely gorgeous.
 
The Long Wait(tm) cannot pass fast enough! :-)

I love this quilt!  There have been a lot of nice Maple Quilts recently, and this is certainly one of 'em!  I'm tilting my laptop at different angles looking at it!  This particular picture catches the light in such a way that it looks electric.

WOW! That quilt is fantastic Brian.

Nice quilt! Love it! Man I can tell the FTC page is going to cost me a lot of money...

Beautiful quilt~
 
Hard to tell, but it looks like the body wood (Mahogany?) has a bit of cool figuring or flame to it as well.  Nice choice on the headstock choice too (IMO).

Thanks guys!  I really am stunned at how wonderful it looks.  I can't wait until this thing is in my hands!

Hey, Brian!
 
That's gonna be one LOVELY Rogue! Well thought out, I must add. Signature, B and T controls, Ebony Lam, Killler! Gonna sound as good as the quilt top looks! Can't wait to see the finished product.  
 
BCoool, Mike, tho =]

*sigh*... how insane is it that I had a dream last night that Mica called me to tell me my bass was done and ready to ship?  I know.  Completely insane.  I have problems - this I'm aware of.

Looks badass man.  Ya, I'm totally thinking about getting bass and treble controls for signature electronics, or at least cut/boost switches (when I have the dough for a custom!)  When you get it, the next time we get together I will want to play it!!!  See for myself. I'm sure that bass is going to blow the house down!

I've just gone back again to look at that top.
I say it often,         but that is the best maple top I've ever seen!!
On par with the Unicorn bass in the arquives
Will the beauty never cease for us lesser mortels that can't afford a custom  ??

And then-the question
Why not Series elctronics??

Why not Series elctronics??
 
I don't think I need them plus it's a comfort thing.  I have Signature electronics on my JPJ custom and I love them - and I can get/reproduce many tones with it consistently on the fly.  Adding the master bass and treble on this bass was even a mild after thought; I figured since I can I might as well.
 
The Series electronics frighten me some.  I've honestly never even had the chance to play a bass with Series electronics - well, plugged in anyway!  I played Brad's Series II 6 string at the last local Alembic gathering but didn't get a chance to do that until the power had already gone out. :-(
 
I look at it this way: if I really really fall in love with Series electronics sometime later I can use it as an excuse to order another bass. :-)

Not to mention they're like $5m more!
