Mica-
 
Can you please confirm that you got this last email about not placing the bass on hold and proceeding with construction?  I just want to make sure that there is not any miscommunication or hold ups on the bass.
 
Thanks,
 
Andy

Mica-
 
Any updates or progress on the bass?
 
Thanks,

It's in the final curing stage for the finish now. It will likely be in a state for my dad to begin the  electronics calibration in a couple of weeks.

Pretty much looks the same, but here it is curing:

Beautiful. This web site is really bad for my GAS.

I really like the grain pattern on that top.  Even with all the crazy quilted coco bolo that's been showing up on instruments lately I think that this is my all time favorite top.

Thanks for the compliments!  As Mica can assure you, we spent a lot of time finding the top and back that were just right.  She did a great job and I am really excited to see this baby completed...

Andy,
 
That's going to be one very cool bass.  I really love my Europa/Series bass.  A picture of my bass is in the Showcase section.  Your bass is going to have a few more goodies compared to mine but I think it will give you an idea of what the finished product will look like.
 
I look forward to seeing your finalized bass.
 
Best Wishes,
Bones

Love the Europa/Elan basses, and to see such a gorgeous instrument design fitted out with that absurd Coco Bolo and the full Series II package is just too much.  Andy, you are one lucky dog.

Thanks all for the compliments...
 
Mica, any updates and/or idea when this bass will be completed?
 
Thanks,
 
Andy

Getting closer - the finish was rubbed out yesterday:

That's why it looks sort of dull and chalky in this photo.  
 
Should get buffed within a few days. Then it's setup / calibration / inspection. If everything goes as planned (as sometimes it does), we should be shipping this bass by the end of the month.
