Supernova Bass project : Ovular content

removed the stick-on silver lettering and hand painted 'upernova' myself - not perfect but it works for my prototype and gives me the look/identity I had in mind. The silver font was chirpy and horsy aside from it showing clear plastic edges around each letter.

I just got home after a late day and just saw this. (thanks Nexy!) Yes, it's my 2nd - the Supersonic (pics included in the spread for reference!) being the first of my BotW inclusions. It's funny because ithe Supernova was submitted before the re-do.., but it's ok... publicity is good in any form! Once the SuperB is done - it will be entered to complete the trio.

Thanks! … and yes MRC, there are a number of tb Luthier Corner members that have been previewed for BotW.

Hey Man.....

Parlay it right into another one!

I know nothing about it - but if there was only a way to let them know you reworked it....

I mean.....

How many folks really DO that? What a great story!

None....Just JIO, the man. He's the only one.

And it would be an incredible follow up, simple as that....

You're sweet! It's funny because sometimes things just work slowly. When they first started doing their BotW, I submitted the Supersonic and it was one of their first few entries. So when I finished the Supernova, I shot that over to them. Apparently it's become very popular and they most likely have a long list of entrees now. So a long time passed and I re-did it in the interim. So I then sent them a fresh group of pics w/the story of the re-do and hoped they would bypass the earlier pics and if posted it would be the Supernova Mk II. As you saw, no dice! So I may just remind them that I've sent the Mk II email and (hopefully) eventually they will post that. Regardless, I dig all the interest it's gotten and it's just more fuel for the boiler room to keep the inner flames hot! :thumbsup:

Hey JIO

I think the reminder is a great idea! It's a unique situation and they should be smart and capitalize on it!

Will do! So much of life is about timing - will attempt to remind them... after a bit of space!

I would not be surprised if they were not getting picky to make sure they keep reader interest as well. Posting unique and inspiring builds keeps people clicking. ;) Congrats again!

I think that's most likely true - spread it out to draw eyes in. (I'd do the same!) Thanks again for your support and interest!
