This makes it official right? Thanks for the pictures Mica. Can't wait to see the rest come together. Dave mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 4201 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Thursday, March 01, 2007 - 6:53 pm:    This is official. As I find things happening to your bass, I'll post the pictures on this thread. the_8_string_king Senior Member Username: the_8_string_king Post Number: 430 Registered: 9-2005 Posted on Thursday, March 01, 2007 - 7:55 pm:    Woo Hoo!!! Congrats, bassjigga!!! It has begun... and it looks great! jacko Senior Member Username: jacko Post Number: 1074 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Friday, March 02, 2007 - 5:22 am:    Congrats david. Is that vermillion or purpleheart in the neck? Graeme adriaan Senior Member Username: adriaan Post Number: 1300 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Friday, March 02, 2007 - 5:26 am:    By the way Dave, what you entered for "previous band" on your profile WOULD make a great band name. Vermillion and ebony is looking very sweet. bassjigga Intermediate Member Username: bassjigga Post Number: 141 Registered: 8-2005 Posted on Friday, March 02, 2007 - 7:00 am:    Thanks guys. It is vermillion Graeme. mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 4375 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Friday, March 30, 2007 - 4:54 pm:    Here's the body parts without the top, just waiting for the final word on placement: bassjigga Intermediate Member Username: bassjigga Post Number: 176 Registered: 8-2005 Posted on Sunday, April 01, 2007 - 10:05 pm:    Cool! Are the accents wide enough for the BTC? Or does some of the body get cut from here? mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 4432 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Wednesday, April 11, 2007 - 4:54 pm:    The accents and the body are wide enough for the BTC. Everything is oversized at this point. Peghead is veneered now: bassjigga Intermediate Member Username: bassjigga Post Number: 184 Registered: 8-2005 Posted on Wednesday, April 11, 2007 - 8:16 pm:    Cool (Zoolander voice). bassjigga Intermediate Member Username: bassjigga Post Number: 198 Registered: 8-2005 Posted on Friday, May 11, 2007 - 10:02 am:    Any progress? the_8_string_king Senior Member Username: the_8_string_king Post Number: 700 Registered: 9-2005 Posted on Wednesday, August 22, 2007 - 8:57 am:    Hey bassjigga! I'm betting you'll get a picture or two soon. I'm really looking forward to it. The 3-pickup setup should be really cool. Are you going to get a Fatboy in the middle? the_8_string_king Senior Member Username: the_8_string_king Post Number: 701 Registered: 9-2005 Posted on Wednesday, August 22, 2007 - 8:59 am:    (I know you'd asked about it... so I was curious if you were going through with it.) bassjigga Advanced Member Username: bassjigga Post Number: 233 Registered: 8-2005 Posted on Wednesday, August 22, 2007 - 9:34 am:    Still waiting on Mica to get back to me on the electronic options for it. She just got back so I should know more soon. mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 4786 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Tuesday, August 28, 2007 - 7:57 pm:    Here's where your bass is today: It's still oversized, but it's looking like a bass now. And the larger side dots: There's a little dust on the ledge there, but you can see the sidelines above and below the 12th fret. the_8_string_king Senior Member Username: the_8_string_king Post Number: 712 Registered: 9-2005 Posted on Tuesday, August 28, 2007 - 8:13 pm:    Ooh, it's lookin' really good, bassjigga!!! And the oversized side dots look great! I wish I would've thought of that! You must be thrilled, it's really looking great!!! bassjigga Advanced Member Username: bassjigga Post Number: 235 Registered: 8-2005 Posted on Tuesday, August 28, 2007 - 8:48 pm:    Wow! I'm speechless! Mica - The sidelines look perfect. I think after all the confusion we had communicating this you guys nailed it. 8SK - yeah I wanted larger dots since this is a fretless - those are the primary visual reference. Lookin great. Can't wait to see the colors and figure pop with the finish. mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 4807 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Wednesday, September 12, 2007 - 7:34 pm:    Some more fine shaping: and your bass is ready to route. Now I am the hold up in production since you still need some details to decide about the electronics/pickups. By the end of this week, I'm sure I'll have everything presented in a way that makes enough sense for you to decide this bass' electronic fate. bassjigga Advanced Member Username: bassjigga Post Number: 243 Registered: 8-2005 Posted on Wednesday, September 12, 2007 - 8:05 pm:    Oh baby this is lookin awesome! davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 5510 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Wednesday, September 12, 2007 - 8:43 pm:    Wow, that's a nice top! the_8_string_king Senior Member Username: the_8_string_king Post Number: 782 Registered: 9-2005 Posted on Wednesday, September 12, 2007 - 8:44 pm:    WOW it looks... well, you said it... AWESOME!!! Are you going with the 3 pickups and the 3-position pickup eliminator concept? mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 4809 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Wednesday, September 12, 2007 - 8:47 pm:    Glad you like the look, Dave - it sure is sweet lookin'. Mark, we don't know the electronics yet, but the details will be posted on the thread when they are available. bassjigga Advanced Member Username: bassjigga Post Number: 244 Registered: 8-2005 Posted on Thursday, September 13, 2007 - 7:21 am:    Thanks guys. Mark - still waitin on Mica's coversations with the big kahuna about the electronics. Sounds like we should know soon. mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 4898 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Wednesday, October 31, 2007 - 12:31 pm:    Routed: bassjigga Advanced Member Username: bassjigga Post Number: 262 Registered: 8-2005 Posted on Wednesday, October 31, 2007 - 1:00 pm:    Wow. It looks phenominal! Looks like I also got the Mark-top only over the neck-treatment to my surprise. Very cool. the_8_string_king Senior Member Username: the_8_string_king Post Number: 910 Registered: 9-2005 Posted on Friday, November 02, 2007 - 10:41 pm:    Wow, it looks great! I'm glad you also dig the accent lams going only to the neck, too! I think this is a really cool looking feature, and I personally much prefer the look of it... although beauty is, of course, in the eye of the beholder, so I can certainly see how others might prefer the traditional look (or not care one way or the other) I't's looking REALLY great, Dave! I'm sure it'll look awesome when the finish hits! bassjigga Advanced Member Username: bassjigga Post Number: 265 Registered: 8-2005 Posted on Saturday, November 03, 2007 - 12:17 pm:    Yeah and hopefully it keeps more of the sound of the neck in the mix too. mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 4929 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Monday, November 12, 2007 - 6:23 pm:    Sealer on: Now for the hardware decision: Chrome? Nickel? Blackened? They'll all look good, you just need to figure out what suits your personal taste best. tbrannon Senior Member Username: tbrannon Post Number: 572 Registered: 11-2004 Posted on Monday, November 12, 2007 - 6:33 pm:    Words fail to express just how awesome that top is.
