Nice choices on everything.
Materials, design, bridge, pickups, preamp--all solid decisions.
You and your luthier have done a great job.

So, we decided to make the cover from plastic; a wooden one will be quite fragile for such a thickness.

Kostadin made special wooden columns to keep the EQ plate stable:

Yes, indeed! All work about this bass was done by Kostadin Dimitrov - http://kdbasses.com/ . I'm just the lame owner.

Sorry, @Vic, I wrote the website of KD again because your link is broken - there is double http in the beginning.
