Seattle does have Hempfest, the Edgewater Inn (mudshark), and the Jimi Hendrix museum. That's gotta count for something!

Flax, Brad and Bill, looks like i'm going to beat all three of you. Mica tells me my new sig deluxe should be ready to ship this weekend ;-)
I even have an FTC of sorts as my bass started out life as Mike 5stringho's

I think the rule should be that you have to have an inlay to race.

Corpus Delicti Rule - you can't use a person's statements against them until all elements of the crime are independently established through other evidence. In other words, a person can't be convicted based on their confession alone, without other evidence. Rest easy, Flax.

Whew.

I was secretly harboring thoughts though:

If Flax went to prison, then maybe that would delay Scarlet, and I would definitely get my bass first.

If Flax went to prison, it wouldn't delay his instrument. They'd let him have it, though he would be limited to "bar" chords! (nyuk, nyuk).

Nothing that's postable. When something interesting happens, I'll post it on this thread immediately.

The part of the wood you were discussing with Susan earlier today won't fit the peghead in any sort of a graceful way:

Bob had selected a nice all-over Quilty piece for the front peghead veneer:

As usual, it's way nicer looking than the snapshot!

Sure thing! Since last Thursday when we exchanged emails last, my dad completed the programming for the CNC machine to cut the neck pocket for the body. That means that early next week Bob will run a test body on the new program and we can test fit the neck. If everything's A-OK, then he'll be able to get Scarlet's body routed and do the gluing of the neck to body.

Also, the neck shaping fixture was completed:

and the neck taper was shaped. Now we have your favorite medium scale neck dimensions available for any set neck bass. Cool, huh?

The peghead veneers glued up:
