Thanks for the update jacko Senior Member Username: jacko Post Number: 1538 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Friday, December 21, 2007 - 4:31 am:    This is going to be pretty special when it's done.

It will have side red LED's, oval inlays, and last but not least Signature electronics funkyjazzjunky Junior Username: funkyjazzjunky Post Number: 26 Registered: 5-2007 Posted on Friday, December 21, 2007 - 1:40 pm:    I saw the wide neck blank but I did not initially pay attention to the fingerboard beside it. This will be a unique work of art. mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 5053 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Tuesday, January 15, 2008 - 7:04 pm:    Here's the body with some shaping: As I mentioned on the phone, your bass is going into routing very soon. Next stop, carving! davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 6024 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Tuesday, January 15, 2008 - 9:05 pm:    That looks pretty cool! danny_bryant Junior Username: danny_bryant Post Number: 29 Registered: 9-2007 Posted on Wednesday, January 16, 2008 - 6:35 am:    I really cant say in words how good this body looks. Wow! It wont be too much longer now and it will be coming on home. bassjigga Advanced Member Username: bassjigga Post Number: 287 Registered: 8-2005 Posted on Wednesday, January 16, 2008 - 2:32 pm:    Really nice. Is this flatsawn zebra? briant Member Username: briant Post Number: 52 Registered: 12-2004 Posted on Wednesday, January 16, 2008 - 3:19 pm:    "Is this flatsawn zebra?" Yep. If it's not I'm turning in my Wood Identification Badge(tm). I'll feel shame. I may even spend two minutes in the penalty box. :-) That's gonna be one killer Orion! danny_bryant Junior Username: danny_bryant Post Number: 35 Registered: 9-2007 Posted on Monday, February 04, 2008 - 6:50 pm:    Looks like the end of the month guys according to the conversation I had with Mica today. I am getting excited but this will be the longest 24 days I have had in a while. 5stringho Advanced Member Username: 5stringho Post Number: 231 Registered: 11-2006 Posted on Tuesday, February 05, 2008 - 4:34 am:    Hey, Danny! Man, small world! Didn't know you were having a custom made, too! That's pretty cool. Guess the Alembic you bought from Fish ruined you, also! She's lookin' really schuweeeet! Zebrawood, LED's, Signature, excellent! She's gonna be a monster. I'm glad Uncle Rusty finally got the store back together. I was getting worried there for a while, but I think he'll be OK now with his new partner. I did take him a bunch of stuff for consignment. Mostly stuff I don't use anymore, except the Excel. Didn't want to sell it, but the way things are working out guess I'm gonna have to. But, I don't see myself using it much after another month or so ;) Anyhoo, Big Congratzz on the New Orion (btw, how's the OLD one?) and stay in touch! Have fun, Mike, tho P.S.-If ya see Fish, don't say anything about my new Custom. I will enjoy hearing him tell me how much he hates me when I show it to him!! =] georgie_boy Advanced Member Username: georgie_boy Post Number: 369 Registered: 8-2005 Posted on Tuesday, February 05, 2008 - 10:35 am:    Ooops I thought that was 1/4 sawn Zebrawood Obviously I know JS about wood Looks amazing whatever the sawing. mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 5118 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Thursday, February 07, 2008 - 6:50 pm:    Sort of a tease, since you can see much of the bass, but here's a shot of the fingerboard getting leveled: I hope to get you one with the finish on it in the near future. 5stringho Advanced Member Username: 5stringho Post Number: 235 Registered: 11-2006 Posted on Thursday, February 07, 2008 - 8:10 pm:    We gonna race to see who gets their's first???

Yer gonna have a really cool instrument! But, you're just makin' it tough on yourself, trying to figure out which one to play!
