They're not finished yet so they should look real awesome with a shine on them. rraymond Advanced Member Username: rraymond Post Number: 274 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Thursday, June 07, 2007 - 8:05 am:    ?! Now, how are ya gonna close that laptop? Microsoft is always talking about improving the look and feel of Windows - that'll do it! That's a killer bass there, Olie. Definitely got yourself some fine coco bolo! Reid mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 4621 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Thursday, June 07, 2007 - 4:45 pm:    Please make sure there's 2 set screws on those knobs - otherwise it's nearly impossible to mount in a level fashion. olieoliver Senior Member Username: olieoliver Post Number: 1396 Registered: 2-2006 Posted on Friday, June 08, 2007 - 7:01 am:    I emailed Roger and he assured me that the knobs have 2 set screws each. smuprof Member Username: smuprof Post Number: 77 Registered: 12-2003 Posted on Sunday, June 10, 2007 - 6:07 pm:    Olie - This is absolutely awesome! We'll have to host a jam session when you get it - otherwise everyone will be coming to your house to see it and hear it! olieoliver Senior Member Username: olieoliver Post Number: 1475 Registered: 2-2006 Posted on Friday, July 20, 2007 - 8:49 am:    Here is another one of the knobs. olieoliver Senior Member Username: olieoliver Post Number: 1549 Registered: 2-2006 Posted on Thursday, August 30, 2007 - 4:45 pm:    Hi Mica, I have a couple of questions that I would prefer to address the via the phone. When would be a good time to call you or I believe you have my cell number (214 area code) if you prefer to call me.

Any updates, word, pix.....just a little curious. Haven't heard from anybody in a while. Olie mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 4975 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Thursday, December 13, 2007 - 7:48 pm:    Finished up all the inlay artwork. James will pick up on this project after the last few Christmas miracle deliveries are through. Here's the overall plan: adriaan Senior Member Username: adriaan Post Number: 1726 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Friday, December 14, 2007 - 1:31 am:    The black-and-white printout is already impressive, imagine what the actual artwork will look like! Finally some spiritual weight to counterbalance that offending yellow book. ;-) olieoliver Senior Member Username: olieoliver Post Number: 1659 Registered: 2-2006 Posted on Friday, December 14, 2007 - 7:25 am:    Thanks Mica. This layout is exactly what I nad invisioned. I LOVE this cross too.

Those inlays are going to be amazing. Can't wait to see. Bill smuprof Member Username: smuprof Post Number: 95 Registered: 12-2003 Posted on Sunday, December 16, 2007 - 9:17 am:    Olie - This is truly spectacular. I can't wait for you to get it One question: Assuming the fretboard is ebony, it looks like the Omega is slated to be black mother of pearl? How well will that show up? Regardless, it is truly a "master" piece! byoung Senior Member Username: byoung Post Number: 869 Registered: 12-2004 Posted on Monday, December 17, 2007 - 11:21 am:    John, Black mother of pearl is more of a grey color, it'll show up fine. Bradley mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 4993 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Wednesday, December 19, 2007 - 7:17 pm:    This black pearl is not only the grey color, it's got fantastic color flash: The cross is also well underway: This is the backside actually. olieoliver Senior Member Username: olieoliver Post Number: 1661 Registered: 2-2006 Posted on Thursday, December 20, 2007 - 6:38 am:    Very nice, thanks Mica. Th Black Pearl looks awesome. I can hardly wait to see the Dove. Olie mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 5007 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Friday, December 21, 2007 - 5:32 pm:    You won't have to wait much longer, some of the work on the Dove has started: That's just the first cut on the main wing. And the cross is now bound in sterling silver: byoung Senior Member Username: byoung Post Number: 873 Registered: 12-2004 Posted on Saturday, December 22, 2007 - 11:43 am:    Olie- Looks like your bass is spending some quality time at the Santa Rosa chapter of the Ron Paul fan club*. Shouldn't be long now before she's in your hands. Bradley * James' bench at the shop has Ron Paul stickers and pamphlets on it. mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 5015 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Thursday, January 03, 2008 - 12:35 pm:    Inlays are getting sunk into the fingerboard now: Home stretch time! byoung Senior Member Username: byoung Post Number: 884 Registered: 12-2004 Posted on Thursday, January 03, 2008 - 2:54 pm:    Looks like James is doing a practice run in chocolate. lbpesq Senior Member Username: lbpesq Post Number: 2819 Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Thursday, January 03, 2008 - 4:32 pm:    Hey Olie, it that a rosewood fingerboard? I hope it's not the chocolate option. Very tasty, but they are really affected by warm weather! lol. Bill, tgo olieoliver Senior Member Username: olieoliver Post Number: 1672 Registered: 2-2006 Posted on Friday, January 04, 2008 - 6:21 am:    It's supposed to be ebony! I think it looks odd from some dust from the router. (I HOPE). mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 5019 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Friday, January 04, 2008 - 6:48 am:    It's Ebony, nice and black. Didn't do any color correction, this photo looks a little yellow on my monitor. olieoliver Senior Member Username: olieoliver Post Number: 1674 Registered: 2-2006 Posted on Friday, January 04, 2008 - 7:16 am:    I was pretty sure it was Mica, Thanks. Olie PS You're up awful early aren't you.
