Crazy man. Is it going to be silver too?

Posted: **Thu Jan 31, 2013 10:43 am**

Yep he wants the silver flake and that cavity is getting filled and the dials relocated out of the way of the lights.

Still gonna have the pickguard? Me no likey that! Rear route for controls would be nicer. Time consuming though!

God no, its in the bin already LOL

Dials will be moved over and be in the usual UFO spot and input jack on the side to clean up the front.

Easier to fill with straight timber than a curved piece...

Posted: **Sun Feb 03, 2013 6:58 pm**

MUCH easier!

Posted: **Sun Feb 03, 2013 10:22 pm**

My band mate Jed is getting very excited...only flashing Ace Bass on the planet we think LOL.

Roughing out the amount of lights and spacings, looks like 20 will fit nice.

Posted: **Wed Feb 06, 2013 4:38 pm**

My vote is for more lights under the strings. Too much wood.I hear that quite often

You can never have TOO much wood

Gene also looks pissed at Ace Frehley here too

Posted: **Sun Feb 10, 2013 2:35 pm**

Ace was always a show stealer

Always has something funny to say and catches everyone's attention...Gene needs to quit being jealous!

Posted: **Tue Feb 12, 2013 9:00 am**

yeah i was in australia when Ace played with Kiss when Eric Singer was drummer and I heard them on the radio and Ace was just telling of topic jokes the whole time - a real rock star.

Posted: **Tue Feb 12, 2013 3:17 pm**

Why the scrtch plates????

Posted: **Fri May 24, 2013 4:29 pm**

I would have left them off myself, but I guess it's what the owner wanted?

Posted: **Sun May 26, 2013 7:49 pm**

He wanted something on there so i went the mirror route.

Posted: **Mon May 27, 2013 12:50 am**

I think that the bass came out super nice and I actually like the reflective scratch plate / pick guard!

As always a great job Tony! I'm looking forward to the day when you have time to work on your double v and post pictures here
