Great news Cheeto 
Thanks for keeping us updated.
I havent heard anything yet, i still keep checking my inbox several times every day

Once again it sounds like everyone else gets response from Fred but me
Believe me Athe, I KNOW THE FEELING, its been over three years in waiting for me, Come febuary will be 4 years in waiting..... sorry never the less my friend, i'll keep my fingers crossed for you bro.
Finally got the OK from Fred to post these... He won't put it on the site until it's named. I'm kinda liking the 'GrooveBee' tag Edo Castro suggested at NAMM... but I think I'm seeing it as "The Buzz"
I'd call it "The Drone"
he had a Drone... the downsized Worker. That would have been good though.
I still stand by my "it needs to be made a tad more curvy" comment. But, it's growing on me. Love to see a 6 string version.
I sent Fred an email about a week ago asking where my build was at, and haven't heard back. That's not uncommon. However, a few times he hasn't received my emails so, if after a few more days, I haven't heard back I'll re-email him.

if you emailed him last week, he wasn't home from NAMM yet...he and his wife took the scenic route there and back 
That new Bee shape is fantastic!!
I'm lucky enough to have some great basses, so I'm not easily impressed, but I would buy a 5 string version of one of those.

Freds working on my new nine string right now, hopefully he'll send me some pics of this sexy monstrosity today!!!
7 peice neck with tapered center laminate along with an acrylicised ebony fretboard, solid flamed white limba body with a beautifuly bookmatched flamed koa top and black dyed veneer between the body woods.
The night is still young, i'll keep my fingers crossed

But he emailed Cheeto telling him he was back in Oregon!
Haha, I can't stand that new design. But, kudos to Fred for coming up with something that so many other people obviously like.
