But I've added some hinting arrows in yellow so you can see the parts that will be included with your bass. I'll post more images as interesting things happen. crobbins Senior Member Username: crobbins Post Number: 611 Registered: 6-2004 Posted on Wednesday, May 19, 2010 - 5:30 pm:    Very cool. rjmsteel Member Username: rjmsteel Post Number: 54 Registered: 7-2008 Posted on Wednesday, May 19, 2010 - 7:26 pm:    Very cool indeed, and on the "red carpet"! sureshjohn New Username: sureshjohn Post Number: 7 Registered: 2-2010 Posted on Wednesday, May 19, 2010 - 9:06 pm:    Wow!

Can't wait to see how this one turns out mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 6792 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Thursday, June 17, 2010 - 7:12 pm:    Well, the bad news, is I don't have any great pictures of your bass. The good news is that it's in spray: I keep catching it after it's been prepped for the next coat, so it's literally dull looking. See? Here's another one a couple of days later. More coats, still prep sanded: I'm sure I will get one of all nice and shiny for you soon. sureshjohn New Username: sureshjohn Post Number: 9 Registered: 2-2010 Posted on Friday, June 18, 2010 - 3:21 am:    thank you, thank you. Nice....Looking forward!!!!! afrobeat_fool Advanced Member Username: afrobeat_fool Post Number: 217 Registered: 7-2009 Posted on Friday, June 18, 2010 - 9:50 am:    Wow! This one is moving fast now, John. What a beauty. That is a lot of progress for 1 month. Hope you get it soon. andbassforall Member Username: andbassforall Post Number: 88 Registered: 9-2008 Posted on Friday, June 18, 2010 - 9:20 pm:    Toooo Cooool! mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 6807 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Thursday, July 01, 2010 - 6:26 pm:    Another sneak-in-to-the-spray-booth picture, but this time, it's shiny! Sorry it's partially obscured by the shadow of the bass in front of it. It's still pretty, though sureshjohn New Username: sureshjohn Post Number: 10 Registered: 2-2010 Posted on Friday, July 02, 2010 - 3:15 am:    Yes it is very pretty! Thank you for all the hard work. jacko Senior Member Username: jacko Post Number: 2638 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Monday, July 05, 2010 - 3:30 am:    "pretty" doesn't even come close to describing this. What a fantastic piece of art this is turning into.
