Wow. Too cool. Hey thanks Mica !! Do you have a general ETA at this point ? Just curious. Thanks again !!

mica

With the black painted instruments, it's really variable and I can't really make even an educated guess yet. Let's see when it gets out into setup, then we can take a guess at it.

Hi Mica, any photos prior to or during setup ? I'd love to see how it is coming along. Thanks so much !!!!!

mica

I will have some photos before it's completely completed, and there may be something to see in the next week or so.

The inlays really are amazing, but that finish is killer!

And that would be Eric's Essence. Amazing planet inlays !!!!!!!!!!!

I saw your bass getting some setup love today. It's not done just yet, but it is getting very very close.

And...
 
 

 
Just one little thin left to finish up, please check the changes/additions section for some last minute change I am suggesting.  
 
Of course Mary hasn't yet inspected, I haven't played it (lefty? well I'll try!), but it's darn near done.

Wow, amazing!
I thought the hardware was going to be chrome?
A real beauty regardless!

mica

Wow is right, Doug - you were also right about the chrome. I got a little ahead of myself there. Anyway, I can now officially proclaim it DONE:
 

 
Since there wasn't hardly any light where the bass was hanging, I lightened it up in Photoshop so you could see the flame figure is really there. Don't mind all the weird reflections, it's just a snapshot.
 
Looks sweet!
