I just have to ask....  
 
Was this neck originally built for my bass?!?

Mike (Pace) - this one has two ebony laminates, yours had three.

Adriaan is right Mike, my neck is just the opposite of yours. I ordered the neck this way, I assume they cut it fresh.

DOH!  
 
Im curious what became of that neck....

Hi Mica. I don't remember if we discussed the LED's or not but are they going to have a switch?
Thanks, Olie
 
P.S.
How where the cookies?

Love that neck combination

Thanks George. The main reason for the ebony lams was to add a little growl and sustain to sound, not to mention it looks cool.

Yessuh, it is indeed both really cool-looking AND awesome sounding... and with that killer coco bolo top and Series electronics, it should be a pretty formidable and impressive combo!
 
The sustain is freaky!  You'll love it.

So Olie..does this make it # 5 ?
Are you going to have the pistol grip added?
Cool Idea!

Yes Sir numero cinco indeed.
 
After I spoke with Susan I decided against the pistol grip. I have a 3/4 Mk now and it really fits my body well and hangs good via the strap.
Of course this S-2 will have a thicker body so it'll probably be a little heavier.

Very nice indeed! You are amassing quite an arsenal.

My only regret is that I only have two hands.

Hi Olie,  Series I and II instruments usually don't have switches for the LEDs since they don't depend on betteries for power. The exception is Laser LEDs, which may need to be quieted during certain performances.   Here's some goodies from last week for your construction:
