Aw, I saw this thread resurface and thought I'd see some finished pics and maybe a sound clip or two...sigh*
Yeah, what this thread really needs is a companion "discussion" thread, and then this one can be reserved for actual progress information.
S.P.
I know, I can't believe it. I feel like I'm getting notification that my son will finally be freed from the Hanoi Hilton, after Vietnam ended.
Just an update. Kevin's shop emailed me... Sanding has begun! The bass should be ready by Friday. Too bad I will be in NY. Band practice should rule, next week.
Congrats. Looking forward to your bass arriving.
Also, I am banning you or family (over the next 15 generations) from ever selling this bass. Not even if you are starving. Not even to raise the last dollar to cure cancer... ok maybe for cancer... but you have to starve.

I'm a little sad to know the tread will end soon, I've been subscribed for so long I'm going to miss the notification emails.

If I sell this bass, you and all of the TB community can beat me to a bloody pulp.
The only problem now is that here in the first land to see the sun, it is the awaited Friday... and yet it isn't over there, and so I must wait 
Just a quick update. Kevin finished my bass... kind of. He ran out of time and flies to Japan tomorrow to do sound for a tour. The bass is playable, but the neck pocket needs to be shaved to get rid of the corner gaps. I guess he has to dowel the neck and re-drill the mounting holes. I asked if Holly could do it, but I guess Kevin insisted that he be the only guy on the job. According to his office manager, Chris, Kevin has been the only one working on this bass. Kevin returns on the 10th of June, so I told Chris to keep it at the shop and let Kevin finish it upon his return. I think the horrible part of the job is done, so this should be an easy fix... I hope.
On a good note, I will head up to the shop next week to take pics. It will be nice to have some new pics on this thread.

Just spent the last hour reading this. Your patience is that of a gods. Amazing. The bass will be great!
We will. Unless you sell it to me of course. Then you're good.
Can't wait to see the finished product!!!
It's smooth sailing now, bro! It must feel great to know the major job is done. Looking forward to the pics
