Highlighted in red are the adjustments/clarifications that came out of my phone conversation with Valentino yesterday: NECK scale: 30.75 strings: 4 7-piece through body neck MAP|PH|MAP|EB|MAP|PH|MAP fingerboard: ebony with abalone inlays 1.5x2.15 (like Stanley's) 1.5 is the nut width, 2.15 is the string spacing, center-to-center, at the bridge (approx 18mm) side markers: Red LEDs with 2 amber each @ 12th and 24th with internal dimmer pot peghead: K Crown, bevelled This is the headstock that is narrower near the neck to go with the narrow nut, right? Chip's choice on headstock sandwich to go with the rest of the woods and show off the bevel. Very dark and symmetrical peghead face to bring out the hardware and logo BODY Sandwich: Coco Bolo top [3766 approximately per my template and adjusted to Chip's preference] Maple pinstripe Purpleheart laminate Maple pinstripe Vermilion core, hollow Maple pinstripe Purpleheart laminate Maple pinstripe Coco Bolo Back [3774 with bookmatch reversed and the dark curve around the swirly area following the body contour. I'd like to see a template on this before it is cut, but I can live without it.] shape: Small Standard, no tummy or elbow carving ROUTING: pickups: 2 FatBoy truss rod cover: 4R (standard for SC model) clarification: Series pickup positioning, so the truss rod cover is small backplates: brass electronics: 2 volume, 2 filter, 2-3 position Q switches The positions of the LED switch and 1/4" jack will be reversed with the jack closer to the neck FINISH: polyester gloss with satin neck feel SETUP: logo: silver no script hardware: gold plated strap anchor: gold straplocks mounted using threaded inserts rather than screws, if possible strings: .045-.065-.080-.105 case: hardshell | ||

Just a note to capture the results of a phone conversation that Mica and I had yesterday: 1. The pickup positioning and truss rod cover will be as per Stanley's 30th anniversary bass. This corresponds to the positioning of older Series instruments, not the current standards. 2. We will go with the .040-.060-.080-.100 long scale string set. 3. There will be a stop order to discuss the custom inlay at the appropriate time if we haven't nailed it sooner. -Bob | ||
