The white lines are just another potential outline of a body. It looks like there was one reversed from that one and offset. The line above the neck PU is the lower horn, and the line going through the bridge, bridge PU and lower part of the body is the upper horn, or at least thats what it looks like to me.

Dave - well spotted - B was the outline you can see on C, it was reversed on the board, it wasn't happening so it was eliminated.

So far it would seem to be an overwhelming majority for A - looks like the winner so far. Thanks for all the input:)

I prefer "A". And I prefer "A" because that's the one that I kept imagining would be on my Harlot when I order it!

Congrats on the bass! You will definitely be happy!

What body wood are you going to go with under the cap?

Basse - yep I think it's going to be A, thanks for the vote of confidence.

I am going for a light Ash body to keep the weight down, with a quilted maple back and back of the heastock, with a Redwood control compartment cover. It is going to be a set neck.

I am very excited about the whole thing although as you have said, it is a bit of a leap of faith, but you seem very happy with yours:)

This will be the second custom I have had, the first was twenty years ago:eek: I hope mine turns out half as good as yours;)

I now have a mockup of the top with the intended birdseye maple board on it - don't forget that this is a photo shop job so its only to get the idea.

Thanks for all your help - 90% voted for this option:)
