Cheers D mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 5304 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Friday, May 16, 2008 - 3:56 pm:    Hi David, Your bass is in preset right now: That means it's time for the inlays (including the custom one @ th 12th fret) and frets to go in. We'll also set up the bass and send the hardware to the goldplater while the rest of the finish work is completed. davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 6566 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Friday, May 16, 2008 - 7:20 pm:    Wonderful top!!! This is looking really nice! david125 New Username: david125 Post Number: 4 Registered: 4-2008 Posted on Friday, May 16, 2008 - 8:48 pm:    Hi Mica, Many thanks. It looks just stunning ... david125 New Username: david125 Post Number: 5 Registered: 4-2008 Posted on Monday, June 16, 2008 - 9:42 pm:    Hi Mica, I will be in San Francisco the end of July. Any chance the bass will be ready by then? It will save a bunch of air freight and taxes for me... Cheers David mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 5336 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Tuesday, June 17, 2008 - 5:03 pm:    Chances are that it will be ready for you to carry home. We are about a 45 minute drive from the Golden Gate Bridge, so I hope you'll have a half a day to come and pick up your bass, meet the staff and take the tour while you're in the area. david125 New Username: david125 Post Number: 6 Registered: 4-2008 Posted on Wednesday, June 18, 2008 - 1:55 am:    Thanks Mica, any stunning photos of progress?

I'm looking forward to the visit - I watched the presentation you made on the atelier on the web site with great admiration.
