How's it coming?

Hi David,
 
Your bass is in preset right now:

That means it's time for the inlays (including the custom one @ th 12th fret) and frets to go in. We'll also set up the bass and send the hardware to the goldplater while the rest of the finish work is completed.

Wonderful top!!!  This is looking really nice!

Hi Mica,
 
Many thanks. It looks just stunning ...

Hi Mica,
 
I will be in San Francisco the end of July. Any chance the bass will be ready by then? It will save a bunch of air freight and taxes for me...
 
Cheers

Chances are that it will be ready for you to carry home. We are about a 45 minute drive from the Golden Gate Bridge, so I hope you'll have a half a day to come and pick up your bass, meet the staff and take the tour while you're in the area.
