I remember a post somewhere about the possibility of a triple pickup thunderbird-styled bass having to lose frets to fit the 3rd p/up, and was womdering if the good folk could make a fingerboard w/ 26 frets on a Series bass. Seeing as John and Susan were designing the Dragon Wing together, perhaps John would have asked Susan to slip on a pair of extra frets for him! pace Intermediate Member Username: pace Post Number: 140 Registered: 4-2004 Posted on Tuesday, March 22, 2005 - 6:39 pm:    I know that when I placed my order Mica got back to me w/ a quote that included a 28 fret fingerboard!!! (she confused my order w/ someone else's)~ so I'd say it's definitely a possibility bassicinstincts Junior Username: bassicinstincts Post Number: 24 Registered: 9-2003 Posted on Wednesday, March 23, 2005 - 4:09 pm:    Sounds good to me! I'm off to bed soon but I think I'll have to take a closer look at the Dragon Wing and play 'count the frets'! Let me see...1...2...3....zzzzzz.. Ben
