I could only get a picture of the backplates for you today - the instruments in the spray run were still wet when I went to take the photos. I left a note for my uncle to not prep your bass on Monday until I take a photo. Here's the backplates to give you a smile this weekend:

This week the controls are to be routed and the preset for the hardware - you wanted to change to nickel, right?

I think it looks great, even with the hook in the head.
Hardware should be back in a day or two. Here's your bass during the rubout on Friday.
