I wonder where in Korea they will be made. Of late, Korea has really steppped the quality up to near Japan levels. Any fretlesses in the first 12?

There is a strong possibility that a P/J will be offered.
Right now Dan is proceeding at a decent pace and there will be a lot of happy bass players in the near future.

P/J = Double Plus Good
But only if it's got pickup selector like on Tony Franklin's Fender.
Just spoke with Danny and couldn't be more excited and happy for him! One of the nicest people I know ... a class act through-and-through and a man that knows a thing or three about producing quality instruments.
His ideas have been quietly in the works for many months and he's got a great plan and some great support. Some very cool stuff ahead, to be sure. He's thrilled at the quality of workmanship he's gotten from his friends in Korea and that's all I needed to hear.
The initial models will be priced right around $1k ...
Looks like there will be at least a couple of gorgeous new basses in my not too distant future! Very exciting ...

Any thoughts or hints at a 4-94 / 44-02 type? HS, with a dark blueburst transparent finish? Please?
Or is that too close to his old outfit?

I just spoke with Dan and I was pretty excited that my "model" in my head was in good alignment with what he is trying to do. I asked about a couple of things that he will look into such as using an Ash body for weight.
I can add a couple of small details, apologies if these have already been mentioned:
The Jazz pickups are 60's spacing.
There is no case or gig bag included but Dan is looking into a gig bag he can add for a reasonable charge.
These boards are all rosewood, maple may be added later as well as maybe blocks and binding. The idea is to keep it simple now and those require more finishing.
The timeline, while as always is subject to change, is to order in July and get the basses back in Sept - Nov.
The price can be paid in full upfront for $100 less than paying in two installments.
Considering all the "USA" hardware features this is a really impressive offering so I am looking forward to it.

Man, that's just mean. I'm actually too busy for TB at work and cannot defend myself.
Tony Levin mojo far outweighs Presidents of the United States of America anyway!
