Again, congrats sir. This will be a formidable bass indeed. The effect of a slanted pup is powerful. Perhaps the audience should be warned of intense vibrations before the gig. |

The bridge p/up is longer than the neck p/up, please tell me why. |

2400 wattman,
the string width needs a longer pickup, thus a 7 strings pickup..
while the regular AXY56 is enough for the neck position...

Roberto,
I was checking out your 7 string bass.
It's truly breathtaking.
I am so happy for you man, believe me -- I know
what is running through your heart right now, and it's your design and there's nothing in the world like it...
Yes, I know this feeling very well, and this is what I want you to do...
When you get your bass, let a child play it and feel it -- for "You" was once that child -- and it takes great things, to make you feel as a child...
Also, try to remember this moment, if its truly
as special as I believe it is...(Very special).
Lastly:
I was trying to email this message at your yahoo account, but I kept getting errors, so maybe the heavens and the universe wanted me to give you this message here...
which I said, I would never post again -- but I made an exception for your exceptional bass.
Peace and Love,
Hal- |

toma hawk01, and all brothers , thank you very much for your positive comments .It really keeps up the spirit..
And ,tomahawk01, believe me...this is very very special...
It has been my dream bass all my life...
also, the discussion,argues,etc with Mica..till this project could be finished..really took a long time..but it was really worthed.
and I really thanked Mica and the rest of the family at mothership..
They are really true artists..not just bass builders...cause they build intruments with mind, knowledge,art,and soul..

Roberto,
I envy you
I can sense your excitement and eagerness. What a distinctive and beautiful bass. I do not think that I have seen Lacewood top before.
Congratulations
