Interesting. I guess I'm so used to seeing the controls in the classic Starfire positions. I'd have to strap on the bass and see how my hand hangs to be able to really evaluate these layouts.

I think we've already confirmed but I'd like the stain please.

Number 1:  

    or number 2:

 The stereo/mono switch is down near the edge.  or number 3:

 The stereo/mono switch is left-most in the line of switches.   In any case, LEDs come on when you plug in, as requested.

Maybe slightly more to the left please?

Here's the picture is sent you a few minutes ago:
 

(Ooops! I only had 4 hat knobs in hand in the shop, they will all be hats on your bass)
 
These are shifted over to the left slightly. If this is a go, we'll plot them out all nice and straight and drill this sucka!

That looks great. Let's light this candle!

Okie dokie! I'm leaving this as a note for Jack to do his magic in the morning tomorrow.  
 
Will probably route the bridge block at the same time. Then he'll sand the edges of the plates (they will be much nicer that way) and start stuffing electronics probably Monday or Tuesday if all goes well.

Hey Mica,
I think I'll go with red LED's.  
Also, we had talked about black mother of pearl for the cloud, but I think I'd like to go back to a white cloud (perhaps with a bit of character)

Hello Mica,
I'm curious about adding oval inlays on the fingerboard. Could you send me a PM please?
Thanks

mica

OK, check your email there, Keith.

moonliner

Sweet! Let's do MOP inlays!

Hello Mica,  
 
I emailed a picture today to show the headstock and why I think Phil's might be a little different. It's probably just the angle but let me know what you think.  
Also sent some money :-)
