dang dude his is pretty cool also, but i like your's because it's based off Jason's, but has some upgrades done to it for more tonal control, congrats Flip. i would love to have a 5 string, 3 pickup Elan almost exactly like yours(classic taper for me though) you lucky dog. hope that i'll be able to steal some of your ideas(as for the electronics) whenever i get a real job ;-). play her well, for all of our sakes :-)

Dude this looks beyond Killer... Congrats...

At long last  your new baby will be on it's way home.  
Great case for it too.  I look forward to some you tube clips of your new bass too.

Congrats Man,hope she fits you ;-)

Seeing this done doesn't help my ever increasing desire to have my new black custom done and in my hands.
 
That's a gorgeous bass. `m/ `m/

This is one bass I'm very glad to see completed headed to someone I think is very deserving. Congrats, Flip.

Congratulations Flip!
 
With this one exception, I break my silences this one time.  
 
Peace, and Love
 
Hal-

The picture of the bass in that case is pretty impressive.

Congrats sir! Now can I have mine?

Left the building today! Danny's is the next bass in setup

Is it possible/advisable to have the initials cut out of the 12th fretmarker?
Something like this:
 

BTW: I don't mind if there's little contrast and the initials are kind of hidden.  
I think it's cool if it's only to be seen at close inspection, just like the Flame Maple top.

Here's a very poor visualisation of my take on the knobs layout:
 

 
Also I would like to have the old hat style knobs.

I'm having second thoughts on the P pickup on/off switch...
 
Can you see if it's possible and if it is quote me for a 4 way pickup selector switch?
1. P only
2. P with J (from the bridge/neck pan)
3. J only (from the bridge/neck pan)
4. Standby
 
Placed (Centred) above the bridge and neck Filter, under the bridge (downtown) :-)
 
Thanx
