Hi !
It's done ! thank you for your patience for the preamp.

I've heard (and read) that Tom has made the fanned fret option available, I'm already thinking about it !
!
The bass is still in Tom's workshop for final setting , neck stabilization , but he told me that it was good.
It may be off-topic but I think Lucky Peterson will love his new Marceau guitar ...And Hadrien Feraud is enjoying his HF model !(I'm next !!)

Hey there !
The rotosound's (Low B .130) were too heavy for this baby (scale and tension myth is definitely dead) ,so Tom has ordered lighter gauges for some tests.
Can't wait to hold this piece of woods.

Oh if you only knew. One of the brand new stew... truss broke when Tom was setting it up , and he didn't force it. All of this happened after the time he allowed the neck to stabilize..But during that time he also moved his warehouse (so he couldn't really work during that time. So during the final setting truss-rod broke (it wasn't the first time he had met a deficient trussrod from this brand). So it needed some more work , unglueing fingerboard off (with the veneers) , changing the concept (one single truss in the middle instead of two on the sides , with another carbon stiffening rod) , putting back the veeners and the fingerboard (another piece of ebony) shaping my initials again (everybody knows the initals give the tone... hahaha) , finishing the fretboard , putting frets ...and as the body finish had some damages during the whole process: re-do the finish. Yep , I still don't have the bass but this time I think it'll be there by next week. And I also found out I'm a really patient man..Though I'm sure I couldn't wait for a DHuff stuff for 10 years lol .
