Olie,
 
I thought we decided you had a chocolate fingerboard?
 
Melts in your mouth, not in your hand.
 
Bradley

Oh yea Bradley excuse me, can we see what the other inlays look like dipped on chocolate?  
 
Olie

Today your bass got the first part of the rub out completed:

 Any day now that tape will come off and I can take a picture of the inlays all together for you, but here's a couple I took right after they were done:

 

Simply Stunning, Olie! Gonna be a true piece of Art!!
 
Have fun, Mike, tho =]

Veryy cool, thanks Mica. They look great.

Olie,
 
Interesting choice of verse.  Especially since everyone will mistake it for that other verse in John 3.
 
Bradley

Bradley, I almost decided against this verse for that very reason, people will mistake it for 3:16.  
Read it in the NLV (3:6) and it becomes a little more clear. The music that will be made with this bass will be born of the spirit within. The bass, although it will out live my body, will not last forever but the music that will come from within it will last forever.
 
 
Olie

Nice one Olie.
A truly beautiful instrument already
Can't wait to see it finished

From the New Living Translation;
John 3:6 Humans can reproduce only human life, but the Holy Spirit gives birth to spiritual life.

Thanks, George Me too. LOL

I hear you.
 
The story of Nicodemus is one of my favorite stories of the bible: the elder, respected member of society who finds himself dissatisfied with his life sneaks off to find greater truth.  When he gets to the teacher, he is told that, essentially, everything he has known and lived must be re-formed, regenerated, renewed, refreshed, re-birthed.
 
From a later verse: The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh or whither it goeth.  Like the music: I'm not sure where it comes from, or where it goes, but I hear the sound of it.

Very well put Bradley.

I was on the phone with John Terry yesterday and he ask me about The Alpha and Omega Bass,.....hmmm I like that name. Thanks John!

Glad to contribute any way I can - I continue to be amazed every time I look at the latest photos - it continues to surpass.  
 
And maybe I'm just a little happy it will be living in Texas just down the road

Hi Mica. Are we getting any closer? You'd mentioned maybe shippning on the 13th.  
 
 
Thanks, Olie
