Mica,
 
Any updates? Hope you all have a great New Year!!!

what is the center strip in the neck? anyone know? looks like cherry

My guess is walnut.

yeah yeah yeah that s what im talking about!!! can mica or anyone let me know how much it cost just for the neck alone.  thats close, is the center stripe cherry? i would prefer vermillion and ebonies on either side of it. but thats pretty close. just wondering on neck price only,please. the grand total would scare me tooo much i think!!!

The center laminate is Walnut. You'll have to correspond directly with Susan or myself for price quotes, as it depends on the model.   Here's some pics of your bass in setup a couple of days ago:  

 

 

 

  We were talking about logo finishes, and in the end, James decided to use the bronze finish, buffed up shiny. It looks great with the wood and the hardware. The abalone looks especially nice. I hope you like it!

I usually browse the forum without posting much, but I just have to say that this is probably one of the most stunning instruments that I've seen, period.

I'll second that.

The pictures of the headstock are beautiful!

That is definitely a stunner.

Custom of the year, man what a beauty!

Done:
