Bob, Super P4 here yet? Kind of a silly question I guess since you would surely have pics posted.

I'm at right around the 4 month point on my Super P...only another 2-4 months. I'm handling this quite well actually.
I love that my bass has no fret markers on the face of the board. Throws my guitard off!
Been here for almost a week, and I've got blisters on my fingers!
I will post more pics one of these days, when I can put it down long enough to take some!
I actually find that my fingers are not as beat up with the AB1 as they were with my MM bases.
I'm guessing you're going with a dark fretboard? For the last five years or so between my old Big Al and the Spuper P I've been gigging with a maple board basses, but I did take the morado boarded Burgundy Mist Super J to a gig before I moved it on and I experienced some dificulty seeing the dots on it. My custom one that's coming is maple with black blocks, but if I had gone with the wenge necks, I would have definitely gone with the luminlays.
Yeah, they were great guys. I think the owner may still do some online stuff, but the brick and mortar store closed a while back. Bummed me out. That's life i guess....
For some reason I had this song stuck in my head all day. Went home and had to play it to get it out. Figured since I have all my gear at home right now I would record a couple clips. Here is the catch, can you guess which is which? Sorry for my crap-tacular playing, but there is a dingwall in there somewhere.

I can't listen to your clip right now, but given all of that equipment is in your living room, I'm going to guess you aren't married!!

I am not, but I have a great girl who is understanding in my life.
Any more guesses? Anyone want to take a stab at the amps or cabs?
Contemplating side lumilays. What do you think would look better on wenge/wenge? I'm leaning towards blue.
I spec'd mine to be green. But here's the thing, they look like off white when in normal lighting (they look like normal pearloid dots), and when I'm in the dark, sometimes I think they look blueish and sometimes greenish. But it's dark and you can't really see the bass anyway, and they glow really brightly..
As far as color, I think you can pretty much flip a coin. I like mine a lot and I like that they don't look colored in normal lighting.
Blue 3 mm work great, I drilled out the existing dots and super glued in the luminlay. About an hour to remove the neck, install the luminlay, sand, put the neck back on. super easy.
You da man! I am a total clutz idiot when it comes to that sort of thing. I wouldn't undertake even the simplest project like that for fear of screwing something up. So Kudos to you!! I was happy to order them as part of my new build, but as much as I would love to have them on my other two Dingwalls, no way I'm taking matters into my own hands!
If i was putting them on an older bass I might attempt myself but I'll let the pros handle this one
