Thanks for the update. Red Tiger mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 4613 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Friday, June 01, 2007 - 10:57 am:    There's still the calibration and final inspection to finish, but here's your bass today: The tape is holding the humcanceller in place until it receives the final approval from my dad. There are 2 calibrations in front of yours, so for a little while, your bass will just be waiting in line. But you might as well see how it's shaping up! redtiger Junior Username: redtiger Post Number: 12 Registered: 1-2007 Posted on Friday, June 01, 2007 - 12:09 pm:    Hi Mica, Wow, cool! But will you kindly post some more pics to see peghead with logo and nut? Thanks for your assistance.

It's so beautiful! And what switch did you add? Toshiaki grateful Advanced Member Username: grateful Post Number: 214 Registered: 12-2004 Posted on Saturday, June 02, 2007 - 12:52 pm:    Really pretty and an amazing sandwich. I guess mahogany and the switch is for LEDs?

That is an amazing bass-congratulations, RT! mele_aloha Intermediate Member Username: mele_aloha Post Number: 162 Registered: 1-2007 Posted on Sunday, June 03, 2007 - 11:17 pm:    I think you are right but I'll put in as stained ash just to thicken the pot-plot. tbrannon Senior Member Username: tbrannon Post Number: 457 Registered: 11-2004 Posted on Monday, June 04, 2007 - 1:04 am:    Paul, If I remember correctly- Alembic doesn't use stains. They do tint the spray finish (like the cool amber finish on some of the maple tops), but they never stain the wood. Take all of that with a grain of salt- I've been VERY wrong a few times around here.

It's more information that I didn't know. I like learning in here. Thanks buddy! redtiger Junior Username: redtiger Post Number: 13 Registered: 1-2007 Posted on Monday, June 18, 2007 - 7:44 am:    Hi Mica, Hope you still remember my request for more pics of the peghead. Because, I'm eager to see that to see if it's completed as ordered before shipment from the factory. Red Tiger mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 4696 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Friday, June 22, 2007 - 2:30 pm:    Your bass is in the final calibration area, so we're nearly done now. Here's the back of the bass: and the peghead: redtiger Junior Username: redtiger Post Number: 14 Registered: 1-2007 Posted on Saturday, June 23, 2007 - 5:39 am:    Mica, Thanks for the cool pics!!! Looks really amazing, but just one question for you. Is that the "Solid 14K Gold logo and script" that I ordered? I paid extra for it, but cannot find out any "script" on it.
