The real dilemma now is the color selection.

I think what I'm going to do is send it to Dolan, have him strip it and get his opinion on the wood as far as doing a translucent finish.

i'm open to suggestions form you guys and I've been saving pics to send to Mike just to show him what I want.

The translucent selections would be Autumnglo or Blueburst. Opaque options would be turquoise,or possible a CS type, with the creme color and walnut wings(if that can be done). I'm leaning towards the last choice,should look sweet.

No matter what color it will wind up, it will be one nice bass. Congrats!

There seems to be some confusion regarding the selection of Fireglo !!!

I mean what other colour could, or should there be.

I have a Blue Boy 4004.

Really leaning towards making it look like a 4000cs. You know, the one Squire was supposed to use...

Gotta find that surround though...

Hmm... Cool logo. Well, 'cool' is hardly the word for it...
A Rickenbacker bass is much like the Jaguar E car - perennially ultra-fashionable.

Congrats Mark!! I'd keep it Jetglo. I think it would look cool with a black pickguard.
JETGLO should officially be renamed JETGLO ROCKS! :-)
