Austin, make sure you take pictures of you unboxing your bass when you get it & post them on here so we can all share in your enjoyment when you get to touch this magnificant instrument for the first time!

Black tuners sound cool to me, Mica.

I was already planning on making a video of me opening it, rusty. can't wait.

This is a Blockbuster 5 years in the making worthy of a Red Carpet Hollywood Premier!

Rubbing and rubbing

hey mica,
just wondering if you got my email about the inlay.
thanks!!

I did, thanks!

Sorry, but we had to send your bass back to finish, but it got the extra coat it needed and should get to do the rub out again next week.

sounds good, mica. anything on the other bass?

Successful rubout!

It's glowingly beautiful.

Next week, the setup. Will keep you posted!

Starting a thread for the 6-string.

I saw it at the shop on Monday, but Mica beat me to posting a picture. It is gorgeous in person.

Strings now!

Fitting the pickup next week. There's some stuff hanging off the bridge, but I was so happy I could walk up to it and pluck on a string tonight.
