Hi, Pierreyves~
Thanx for your comments.  
But, I cannot understand what you mean;;;;
Frankly speaking, I am poor at English.

shim

And, Mica~ I have a questions.
 
I wonder what means Tummy contour.
I want to get the bass like Raging bass, so I included option Tummy contour like it, but, I don't know what the Tummy contour. Can you explain that option?
 
 And.....
If I want to change my spec... instead of Tummy contour and Avalone inlay, can I change them to additional treble and bass cut/flat/boost switch?
I know the price of them is same the cost to install the additional switches.  
 
Please answer my question~ Thanx.

shim

Mica, did you see my questions? :D
I'm waiting for your answer, but I think, I must go to sleep for next day.  
I hope to get your answer in tommorow morning.
Thanx. Always. :D

shim, if you want, I prefer the simplicity !!

Shim, that is a picture of the tummy contour.  The one that shows the Raging bass accent laminates.  That concavity makes the bass more comfortable to hold since the edges don't dig into your ribs.

mica

I can confirm the accent laminates like Raging Bass for your order, Shim.  
 
I made a new thread for discussing exchanging the tummy contour for bass and treble switches. Please look there for details.  
 
Friday is the last day I can accept any changes on your order, because we need to start building it on Friday to meet your delivery requirement.

Pierreyves , Thanx your additional explaination for me.  
So, I have the question.  
How much the laminated body influence the sound of bass?? For example, what is the difference between the simple laminated body, and additional accent laminated body in their sound??

mica

It's not a dramatic difference. The accent lamination is half the thickness of the top. Maple and Purpleheart will have similar sounds as accent laminations. Maple may wind up being a very small amount brighter sound, but I think it would still be difficult to distinguish.

And... jorge_s , Thanx for your kind explaination~! :D

Mica, Just so Shim doesn't get confused when looking at the photo, the core of my bass is Vermilion. By the way, I am quite honored that others are using my bass as inspiration for their own designs. Michael

mica

I understand from your last email you want the neck pickup moved .75cm farther away from the fingerboard compared to this bass.
 
Please confirm that I understand your request correctly.

And, someday, I hope to change my electronics to Series 2. Can you make the hole preparation for exchanging the electronics someday?? I think a fake nobs are necessary for this. Should I pay any additional fee??

shim

Mica, Happy new year :D
 
Please confirm my answer about the specs of my bass.
 
Thanx.

shim

And if I want to set bass and treble switch(flat/boost/cut) in my electronics, how much should I pay for that?  
 
There is not enough time to meet our appointment. Did you start making my bass??
