Really nice!!

Thanks for all the comments guys. The only thing not so beautiful is the hole i just made in my pocket paying this off.

It's only money!

Money well spent!

I hope this becomes a custom of the month

Hm - as delicious as it looks, what's with the logo - not blackened?

I don't know. My guess is because the bass was originally designated as chrome hardware, perhaps they did the silver logo before the black hardware decision was made. If I remember correctly, they install it prior to finish so it's protected under it. I think I like it. Sets the logo off from the rest.

I love the silver logo with the black hardware.  That is awesome.  I need to stop looking at other factory to customer threads until after mine is done. :-)  There are too many good ideas here.

Question for Mica, or anyone else who might know. What type of plating is the black hardware finish? Chrome? Nickel? Something else? Just curious.

Mica,
 
I'll probably send you a set of the strings I use. When do you need them? Also, how much variance in gauges is ok? For example, if I had you slot the E for .105, could I use .100 or .95 without problems?

We want to set up the bass for the strings you'll most likely be using. There's a little breathing room, but the closer the better or else it won't be ideal.  
 
We'd like the strings as soon as possible so we can see if they are a low tension string as well. Send them to my attention and do include a note so I can match them up with the right bass.

Ok I'll get them to you asap. I usually use DR Sunbeams or nickel Lo-riders in sizes .100, .080, .060, .040, .030. Some times I use .095 & .075 for the lowest two strings.

Mica,
 
I got your letter today. Thanks.
 
I also got the strings in and will be mailing those to you Monday.
 
Dave

Mica,
 
Did you get my strings? You should have them by now. Just checking.
 
Dave

I did get the strings, and I must have shut down my browser when in the preview of the message 'cause I thought I posted here that I got 'em.
