Beauty, beautiful! Thanx again!
I may have chosen it from three trees! I think I selected the most beautiful one!
Yeah you got the most even and consistent looking one for sure.
The other two are cool and maybe more unique but sometimes unique isn't good. I think you made a great choice.

thndrstk6,
I feel a bit funny asking you to add another mock up here as you have been more than generous on talkbass ( great work btw), but I was wondering if you could make something out of this:
Imperial 5
chestnut top ( as shown)
24 fret ebony board with dots
extended headstock
ebony dual coil covers no holes
garrison control layout
black hardware and control knobs
this pic does not show the contrast in the lines perfectly as the lighting is a bit washed so it may be in need of some definition? The outline of the body is a little hard to see also..sorry ...no problem if its too much of a hassle
Anyways, thanks for the great contribution you make around here!

chris.gotfunk, I have a few different flamed koa top templates so I used all three to show a few different options. Let me know if it needs any alterations.

#3 is exactly what I would like mine to look like. Wow!!! Amazing job!!! Thank you very much!!! Now where did I put that checkbook?????
Out of curiosity, what would gold hardware do to the look of #3? By the way, you nailed the 2+3 headstock. I forgot to include that in my PM.
Thanks again!!!
Yeah no problem. I much prefer the 2+3 headstock so I just put that on everything if someone doesn't specify.
I'll revise #3 for you in a bit.

if the new owner contacted fodera, they might have a record of it. do you have the serial number? y ou could try to call or e-mail them.
Good point. I may try and call Martha or Joey. I hate to bug them about something like this. I have a feeling that if the guy were to sell it back, I would probably be paying the same amount as ordering a new one. I know how much roughly he paid for it (long story). The only thing I did not like about that bass was that it had Aero's. They were not for me. I may just order one like the mock-up above.

I'm so bright, my mom called me son! ;-)
Jason, would you happen to know about Anthony Wellington's Yin Yang?

Plus, I've always wondered about Vic's new Yin Yang. That's not Holly on the top anymore, is it? His website describes it as having a "jazzier" tone and new EMG pickups

Does this look about right? Let me know if it needs revising.

Well..that looks great. We do need to do something for you!
The only thing is that its actually a full top like shown in my pic...
Cane we see what that looks like?
