Which accent laminates are you expecting?

This is the standard lamination for a Signature Deluxe bass
choice1


This is what is on your reference bass, "Raging Bass"
choice2

I prefer the Raging Bass Accent Laminates, but Can I get this style in price which I promised with Susan and Beaver??

If I can, I will go to Raging Bass Accent Laminates for my bass.

Hi, Pierreyves~
Thanx for your comments.

And, Mica~ I have a questions.

I wonder what means Tummy contour.
I want to get the bass like Raging bass, so I included option Tummy contour like it, but, I don't know what the Tummy contour. Can you explain that option?

And.....
If I want to change my spec... instead of Tummy contour and Avalone inlay, can I change them to additional treble and bass cut/flat/boost switch?
I know the price of them is same the cost to install the additional switches.

Please answer my question~ Thanx.

Shim, that is a picture of the tummy contour. The one that shows the Raging bass accent laminates. That concavity makes the bass more comfortable to hold since the edges don't dig into your ribs.

I can confirm the accent laminates like Raging Bass for your order, Shim.

I made a new thread for discussing exchanging the tummy contour for bass and treble switches. Please look there for details.

Friday is the last day I can accept any changes on your order, because we need to start building it on Friday to meet your delivery requirement.

Pierreyves , Thanx your additional explaination for me.
So, I have the question.
How much the laminated body influence the sound of bass?? For example, what is the difference between the simple laminated body, and additional accent laminated body in their sound??

It's not a dramatic difference. The accent lamination is half the thickness of the top. Maple and Purpleheart will have similar sounds as accent laminations. Maple may wind up being a very small amount brighter sound, but I think it would still be difficult to distinguish.

Mica, Just so Shim doesn't get confused when looking at the photo, the core of my bass is Vermilion. By the way, I am quite honored that others are using my bass as inspiration for their own designs. Michael
