Awesome Micheal! What an incredible looking bass. How on earth are you going to remember what all those knobs do?

Congrats on September COTM, Michael!

[jacko]

Congratulations indeed. It certainly turned out to be a spectacular instrument. I really like the body laminates and love the neck. ideas are forming even as I speak ;-)

That's a gorgeous piece for sure.  Man, every one of these give me new ideas for when I pull the trigger on the dream guitar.  
 
I do have a request though, is it possible to see the neck with the LED's on/illuminated?  I have been toying with the idea of surface fretboard LED's, and would love to see what they look like illuminated.  
 
Either way, thanks!  That bass just glows and glows!

[jlpicard]

Thank you everyone! Needless to say, I feel like a very proud Papa right now! It is very gratifying to see my concept so very well received. I wanted Flash but with Class and with everyone's help, especially Valentino, I think we were successful! Paulman, I will try to get you some shots of the LED'S. I can tell you this, they are VERY bright! I can sit in a totally dark room at night and practice by the light of their glow! Fortunately, I have a dimmer on them for less ostentatious moments. It is a wonderful bass and just as soon as I win the lottery, I'll be starting on a 5, 6, 8, fretless 4, carved top custom ( something that I was considering for this bass back in Dec/04...just ask Mica )and many other wild ideas.  Mike

Mike, congrats.  You've been waiting a long time for your dream to come true.  It's absolutely beautiful.  And congrats on COTM!

Absolutely stunning Mike, you must be in heaven!
I'd be willing to trade you the Distillate for it if you ever get tired of your new baby... But somehow I don't think so. Congrats.

[jlpicard]

Thanks guys! I think I'll pass on the trade part but if you ever get tired of the Distillate let me know. I would eventually like to gather up the two that I had to sell in order to get his one. That is......once I finish paying for this one!!
