I know we're pretty far off on that but I would like to get a rough idea of the cost. Thanks, Olie mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 4036 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Thursday, January 25, 2007 - 6:57 pm:    You should probably talk to Susan pretty soon. She'll be in the office after about 1:00 tomorrow. Let me know if you want us to call you then. olieoliver Senior Member Username: olieoliver Post Number: 1073 Registered: 2-2006 Posted on Thursday, January 25, 2007 - 7:07 pm:    Thanks, I talked Susan Friday and all is cool. olieoliver Senior Member Username: olieoliver Post Number: 1175 Registered: 2-2006 Posted on Wednesday, March 07, 2007 - 7:44 am:    Any ideas on these yet? I am really interested if we're going to be able to do a crucifix inlay or will we have to do a plain cross. olieoliver Senior Member Username: olieoliver Post Number: 1230 Registered: 2-2006 Posted on Thursday, April 05, 2007 - 7:34 pm:    Mica, may I get someone to call me about the inlays please. I've tried calling and emailing to no avail. I’ve had a serious change of mind on the inlays. If you prefer that I call you please post here when is best and I will call you. Seems like we've hit a road block on the bass. If there has been or is a problem please let me know. Thanks, Olie mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 4399 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Thursday, April 05, 2007 - 8:10 pm:    I'll give you a call tomorrow between 10-11 our time. Did you get the photo you requested for designing the knobs? olieoliver Senior Member Username: olieoliver Post Number: 1231 Registered: 2-2006 Posted on Friday, April 06, 2007 - 6:14 am:    Yes I got the photo. Thanks. olieoliver Senior Member Username: olieoliver Post Number: 1593 Registered: 2-2006 Posted on Wednesday, October 10, 2007 - 9:09 am:    HI Mica, I wanted to make sure you got my email about the cross inlay and if so will my cross idea work? I'll be out of town (starting Friday) for a couple of weeks and just wanted to make sure we're on the same page on the cross. The other 2 inlays (Alpa & Omega, Dove) are perfect.

I'm thinking of making it a fretless. How much trouble would it be to change the fretboard. Thanks, OO mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 5240 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Tuesday, April 01, 2008 - 11:05 am:    It's actually easier than you think, almost anyone can do it with a hacksaw, some muriatic acid, and a regular household oven. We'll get right on it tout de suite, and don't worry, it will be no charge. olieoliver Senior Member Username: olieoliver Post Number: 1818 Registered: 2-2006 Posted on Tuesday, April 01, 2008 - 11:31 am:    Before we get started can you email me some pix of wood samples. I was thinking of maybe a Maple fretboard. Of course it will need to be finished. tbrannon Senior Member Username: tbrannon Post Number: 690 Registered: 11-2004 Posted on Tuesday, April 01, 2008 - 1:31 pm:    Ha ha- tell me this is April Fools.... mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 5241 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Tuesday, April 01, 2008 - 3:55 pm:    Per our phone conversation we've started the fret board change. I was just kidding about the method y'know - couldn't resist on April Fool's! Thanks for listening to reason about the fingerboard material. You know how mom feels about Maple fingerboards. The Macassar Ebony is going to look sweet. We'll be able to save the inlays and use them on a future project or make you some very expensive keyrings maybe. olieoliver Senior Member Username: olieoliver Post Number: 1819 Registered: 2-2006 Posted on Tuesday, April 01, 2008 - 5:44 pm:    Macassar will look awesome. Is it possible to use the inlaid fretboard on another bass? I have a Westone Bass with the same neck dimensions that is in need of a fretjob anyway. OO olieoliver Senior Member Username: olieoliver Post Number: 1820 Registered: 2-2006 Posted on Wednesday, April 02, 2008 - 5:06 am:    For all the emails I got in response to this "change" idea. Yes it was indeed my version of an April Fools joke. I'd have to be crazy or on crack to scrap these inlays. OO (HMMM..... I sure hope Mica new I was kidding) mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 5247 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Wednesday, April 02, 2008 - 10:39 am:    It's all in good fun! The bass is intact with its beautiful inlays. davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 6411 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Wednesday, April 02, 2008 - 5:15 pm:    Scary. byoung Senior Member Username: byoung Post Number: 1005 Registered: 12-2004 Posted on Thursday, April 03, 2008 - 10:12 am:    Ha! good one! 2400wattman Senior Member Username: 2400wattman Post Number: 534 Registered: 11-2005 Posted on Thursday, April 03, 2008 - 7:45 pm:    ah yes, but no that it's the third of April I hear that this is no joke and the fretless changeover will begin next Monday!!!!!!! ahahahhhahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!
