Here's the pan control moved as you requested:

 
This is your bass in the photo, I'm glad you like the grain. I checked the pickup position, and it is moved away from the fingerboard as you requested.

Like In  http://www3.alembic.com/img/inst/13465_controlsL.jpg  , the distance between bass and treble knob is apart more from each other, and the pan knob is prefered to be located more closer in volume-bass-treble line. And the distance between neck and bridge Q knob should be same to distance between bass and treble knob.  
 
I think, in your picture, Pan knob is somewhat close to the bridge.  
 
This is very delicate, so I don't know how I can explain. If you cannot understand what I mean, please tell me.

Hey Shim, just a suggestion... what if you made the left side have 4 nobs going down in a straight line so that from top to bottom it would be vol, pan, bass, treb. Then relocate the LED switch somewhere - maybe on the outter edge between the two filters. So it would look something like the picture in post #61, but swapping the pan knob and LED switch, and then putting the pan by the vol instead of having b & t in between.  
 
Great lookin bass by the way. And talk about your fast builds...

And in post #4108, how about exchanging the pan knob and the toggle of LED?? Can you show me the picture about this recommandation?  
 
So.... if you can, please show me the two pictures, one about post # 73, and this.

Thanx~!!!! David~~~~!!!!!
What I want to tell Mica is your suggestion.  
 
I like your suggestion. Let's do it~~~!!!!!!!

Here's another mock-up based on your comments:  

 

  This is with the pan control based on David's suggestion:

  I think the LED operation switch should be farthest away from your hands, I don't think it's good to be near the bridge.

That looks like a logical setup. I'd go for that if it were mine Shim. Glad I could be of help.

[shim]

Ok, I think the out-lay of David suggestion is more suitable for my bass. And It looks good.  
 
Let's make my bass like in your picture~~!!!  
 
The third one in post # 4117 ~!!!!

Ok great - I'll give the pattern to Bob and he will get the holes routed in the next few days.

Great suggestion, bassjigga!  The simplicity and functionality/accessibility of the control design paradigm and layout is great!
 
What a great layout!  Shim, you're a lucky guy, I can't wait to hear your comments when you get this!

[shim]

Thanx Mark.I really love my bass. It's unbelievable. It's amazing. It's Moving~~!!

ANd... Mica, did you see my request on Ron's signature?

[mica]

Which accent laminates are you expecting?  This is the standard lamination for a Signature Deluxe bass

   This is what is on your reference bass, "Raging Bass"

[shim]

I prefer the Raging Bass Accent Laminates, but Can I get this style in price which I promised with Susan and Beaver??
 
If I can, I will go to Raging Bass Accent Laminates for my bass.

[pierreyves]

I prefer the Signature Deluxe which the lamination boost in front the nicest of woods...(??)
