He'll get it when I say he gets it, so, you'll have to wait till I say he gets it. Which will be sort of the same as you get to see it when I say you can see it and that will be after I say he can see it and he says you can see it after I say he can see it. Or something like that. But maybe not.
Cause, in my shop...

Today I did all the shielding and installed the bridge 
The White sc is a Maisietone and I will be using that but I found a kinda cool surround that I may or maynot use
Ohhh I like that pup surround, very cool!
Very nice! can't wait to see/hear how this one comes out!Today I did all the shielding and installed the bridge
Please let us know how it turns out ...
So I got my bass back from having the frets professionally dressed/PLED'd today. Thought I'd report back.
It's perfect. The bass was a 8.5 before now it's a 10. There was a slight buzz around the 12th fret, it's gone now. There was a high fret somewhere. I can get the action lower than it was.
The big question...Was it worth it($200)? Short answer. It was for me, may not be for everybody.
It's a big price for a little bit of difference...but it's perfect and I feel good about that. I love this bass and in a few months it won't matter what I paid for it. I'll probably PLEK my next build (#2).
Very cool! Worth every penny as long as you can tell the difference and it makes you want to play it that much more.

@iriegnome It's General Finishes' Water Based Green Dye. I also used an ebony wood filler to get the contrast in the grain prior to staining.
edit: Forgot to mention I used Zinsser Seal Coat prior to applying wood filler and after the last coat of dye.

I received my second custom order last night..I really like the feel of these roasted Maple necks. 
Both the body and neck are very light. I am going to take the neck in next week to have headstock engraved deep this time and I am going to inlay crushed turquoise in the headstock logo.

Wow! I really like that inlay. Can't wait to see the finished bass.
