I know you normally post on Fridays the updates for the week, I just want to make sure I get included with any photo's!

Here's the top and back before glueing:  

 

  Assembly is a little slow - I wasn't aware we had one guy going on a small 4-day vacation (kinda last minute), so looks now like Chip will get your top and back glued to the hollow body this coming Monday.   I see I didn't get you pictures of the neck last week, so here's a couple:  

 

  All the woods look great. That top is wonderful!

Mica,
Looks great so far although the headstock is a little blurry, okay it's a lot blurry but I get the idea. The top looks pretty awesome and I like the back you chose as well. Thanks for the update and wish Happy Fathers Day to Ron!

Here's one from in the clamp
 

 
Your bass is the one on the bottom. I'll have some more shots for you this week.

Hello Rory,
 
I don't have any pictures of your bass to post, Mica may have some, and I'm sure she'll post them as soon as she has time; in the meantime I can tell you that your bass is looking gorgeous; I was in the shop a few minutes ago and Tony was busy carving it.

Thanks for the update, as you can imagine I am feeling the pains of anticipation. I look forward to seeing some pics soon!

Ack! Your bass is in the spray department, and my timing was horrible this week, always caught Bob spraying. I'm hoping to get a photo while I'm at work on Sunday. Sorry I didn't get you a shot this week.

I would love to see my bass in production if you get a chance. It has been a while since I have seen a pic.

I think Bass Northwest only has one of these on order:  

 It was already getting rubbed out today.  

 And one of the back.   Getting close. Tomorrow we'll be finishing the rubout. Then it rests a day or two before buffing. Maybe we'll be ready for you next week. Let's just hope those new cases show up like they're supposed to.

Quilted maple seems to be the wood of the day.  Both basses are beautiful!  Photos don't do quilted woods justice.

Hey Guy's thanks for the compliments, as you can imagine there is a big smile on my face. Can't wait to see the final product! Bill, you have convinced me to go with Coco bolo next, I am comtiplating a 6 string! I need to inquire about the upgraded electronics I don't see holes drilled for them.
