The grain on that top is wonderful!
Congrats Olie!!

Certainly worth the wait!  Lovely stuff Olie- have fun this weekend.

Thanks guys. Needless to say it's going to be a long day or so.  
 
Alan I actually like the looks of my Balance -K body the best. But I have another bass with this same body, which fits me like a glove, that was the inspiration for this bass. I will admit though that I like this body in Coco-Bolo better than my Spalted Maple.  
 
This is the first time I've seen the knobs on the bass too. Roger did an awesome job.

Simply stunning Olie. Congratulations.

Another beautiful instrument coming out of Cali...
Congratulations Ollie! Show us some closeups after she arrives.
 
Mike

Wow Olie!  Beautiful!  I can hear you slapping and popping already.  Enjoy!

Olie,
 
Say, I need a loaner for the weekend...
Jam any time soon?

Olie:
 
As the Good Ol' Grateful Dead sang: What a long strange trip it's been!  Once again, the folks in Santa Rosa have used the time to create an absolutely GORGEOUS work of visual and sonic art.  Even this raised-in-New-York-Jew can't help but stare in open mouthed awe at this beautiful bass.  What else can I say?  Breath in ... breath out ... it will soon arrive.  Then ENJOY!
Congrats,
 
Bill, tgo

Thanks, Bill. You know this bass was inspired by a Jew.  
 
Loaner Mike? Sure, just say the the word, of course you'll want to use a 5 stringer, Right?
 
OO

Congrats, looks great!
 
I guess this one will be much easier to play than the double neck bass pictured underneath her

LOL, Shaq could probably play the one below it.

Five stringer? Well if you don't mind tying a bit o' kite string around the neck I'd be okay with that. Heck, you could just put a nice ribbon and bow on it just for grins and we could call it done. We should talk.

Make a joyful noise Olie! Congrats, play her in good health, humor and inspiration.

While I am a total heathen, I freely acknowledge that Christianity has inspired some of the most amazing architecture, art, and music ever.  At the confluence of all three, you can add this to the list.  Congrats, Olie - Notre Dame & St. Peter's got nothin' on you!

Man, that's nice!
 
That neck is great, Olie.  When you get it dialed in, it's gonna hit like a ton of bricks.
