Wonderful! Thanks for the update. I try not to think about it too much to make the waiting easier, but I keep running into friends that are watching the club postings and keep asking me, Where's that killer bass? I've already gotten many compliments based on the photo's alone. I'm sure it's going to be a jaw dropper in person! By the way, Val ,when you mention upgrade are you refering to the  upgrade for reducing noise? Mike

Yes, that's the one.

This photo I took on Wednesday, when the upgrade/calibration was complete and the hum canceller was just ready for final installation:
 

 
Other than the hum canceller, I think the LED operation was the only thing left to do. I should be snapping final archive photos after I finish payroll tomorrow (how I wish I only had to do photos and fun stuff!).

I love those neck laminates.  The tiny pinstripes are awesome- I do believe you've hit the jackpot with this one.  
 
Enjoy~

I really love this bass!

Thanks guys, I can't wait to hold it in my arms! And thank you Mica for the update. I really don't know how you manage to keep it all together with your workload! Mike

Michael - yours is a very classy bass. Gorgeous woods in a truly stunning combination. If it sounds half as good as these photos look you're in for some spectacular tone. Congrats.

Michael,
 
Beautiful.  That bass is just it.  I'm hoping it's still there when I go to visit so I can check it out.

I love the wood on this bass. And the body shape is cool too.

Hey Brad, As of today, my bass is still there  Did you get to see it?

I saw it on Tuesday, Michael.  It's safe and sound, looking beautiful hanging in the front room.  I remember it because I did a double take as I always do when I see a left-handed instrument.

Oh my, what a beautiful bass!!

Foth, When you said front room Did you mean the Showroom?

Yes.  If you sit on the sofa that is in Brad's pics then you would be looking at it.

WOOWHOOO!!!!!! Just heard from Val, the Bass ships today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
