Here's the positioning for "DIRE WOLF"  

 Not sure exactly how much Ebony will show on either side yet, but there will be some of course.   Also thought you'd want to see the drooler with all the finish:

val/mica/james/susan- wonderful work...ty
am out of superlatives,,,,,love the abalone,,,,
 
question on control placement- since i use the pan control least of all....
how does this sound clockwise?
bridge q switch-pan- bridge filter- volume- neck filter- neck q swtich sound to you?  
this way my filters are closet to me , can probably pinky switch the neck q and then i wont need the dubbly.....

Amazing.
 
Additional statements un-necessary.

Is this layout reflect your request from the 21st?
 

 
Some things to consider before having us change the layout:
 
1. Changing the filter/Q switch relationship means that you will need a custom filter if your bridge filter ever fails.  
 
2. You might find yourself using the pan control more now that you will have 2 filters and two distinct sounds to pan between.
 
3. There is something logical about having the Q switch near the filter.  
 
Of course, this is your bass, so what I think is logical may not apply to your playing situation. So after thinking it over, let me know how we should wire the controls.

thanks mica- with you knowing what the guts look like--- and me having no-as in zero experience with these type of controls,,, me- am the old vol, bass, treble, balance guy.
 i am going to defer to your experience and knowledge and leave it at the original- i do appreciate you saying its mine to choose, but i am not gonna f with mother nature.... heck we only talking bout and inch difference in position>? i will get used to it and i am sure my fingers will learn where to go on their own,,,

[flaxattack]

well kids, this is  my last post until the wolf is completed. we are very close to the end.
 
TO EVERYONE AT ALEMBIC- THANK YOU! FOR MAKING MY DREAM COME TRUE,,,
 
i have a box of kleenex and a bottle of champagne ready......
oh oh what i want to know? where did the time go?  
 
I must give a special thank you to susan for saying yes when i asked about doing the inlay. i know a lot of people probably wanted the wolf inlay for many years and why you said yes to me, is something only a higher power knows,, but i sure am glad you did.
 
besides the dire pussycat didnt sound as good...
 
mica, one last request please,,,, i would appreciate it very much (if possible)if you and the crew sign your names on the inside of my backplate. this way you will always be with me....
sincerely
jeff  
ps- this was so much fun i think we should do it again..

i forgot something- i wanted to thank steve at superbass for taking care of and handling my order for me. Steve is a great guy and all he sells are bass guitars. All i can do is just tell everyone to buy through him.
so buy from steve at superbass.
