Are you guys getting excited for your basses getting finished yet?!

I'm thinking about taking off from work for a few days when I get my next one this summer.

Maybe send my girlfriend out of town around the same time. :)

Ha! Niiiiice!!!

Cliff just got my payment. I'm kinda up in the air at the moment about the top, but the rest should be smooth sailing. LOL, I think this Rami 6er has taken up more e-mails than several custom basses combined!!!
