I'll send you a front photo tomorrow with the control layout. I'm sorry, but I wasn't able to take the photo today before I left work.

James has already fretted the bass, it will be going back to spray tonight:

I cannot wait for updating pictures of my bass~~~!!!!  
Good and Nice Bass~!!!!!
Thanx Mica~~~

Mica, I wanna see the peghead and Logo inlay on it.  
And, I don't know if you check my request of Ron's signature or not.  
 
Please answer it. Thanx.

[shim]

And.... Can I get the information of my bass wood? Like.... how old they are, where they lived... something like this...  
 
If you have a information about my wood, please tell me.  
 
Thanx. Mica.
 
Regards,  
JongWoo, Shim

I'll be presenting you with more pictures later in the week.  
 
We've had the Coco Bolo for at least 6 years that we used in your bass. It is from Mexico. Our supplier ages for several years before we receive it, but I don't know how old the tree was.

The logo was curing today:

Time for the last 2 coats of finish now.

[shim]

It looks like a little bit assymmetric...;;;;;
 
Is this due to angle of camera??;;;;
 
I worry about this''''

[mica]

Shim, the logo is fine, please do not worry. James did his typical excellent job in the material selection and the inlay itself.  
 
You're right that the camera angle is low, and the logo is distorted through the dust cover. There's also surplus epoxy on the face of the logo.  
 
I'll show the logo again if I can catch it before it's prepped for spray or when it's curing for the final rubout. You'll see there is nothing to worry about.

Wow, Shim, your inlay looks really nice!
 
What a nice touch to an already-awesome bass!!

Last night's pictures show just putting together the last few pieces:

  And the logo inlay, from a slightly more normal perspective:

  You're in San Francisco now, right? Will you be coming to pick up your bass this week?

[shim]

No, I called Basscentral in Monday, and they told me you will ship my bass, so I request them, I want to get my bass in 3/10. Because I should go back Korea in this weekend.  
 
Isn't This true?

Shim,
 
Yes that is true, Mica thought that since you were in San Francisco you might want to pick it up. We are fully prepared to ship it to you. I need a phone number to call you. You must be home to receive the instrument. UPS will not deliver the package without an adult signature. You can call us  between 10 AM and 4 PM. Thanks
Susan

Ok, I write the E-mail to basscentral.  
 
Please check my mail, and send my bass~!!!
 
If you want to call me, just tell me. I'll call you.

Shim,
 
I just spoke with Hyom, at the address on Potrero Ave. The bass is done, Ron has signed the backplate and Mica is busy photographing your bass right now for it's pre-shipping quality photos. Then it will be boxed and shipped today. I'll phone Hyom later with the UPS tracking number. It should arrive tomorrow. I have personally inspected every inch of the bass and given my approval.
