WOW.......looks great!

Great choice of color and Dale sure does good work on those 4001's. I almost gave up on finding an AZ and was going to get a refin until I found this transition 73 made in May. It's not as purty as a refin but i guess it'll have to do.

Can someone please photo shop these in??

Already in the works...It's going to be hard but I think I can convince her!

Hey Dave, I won't have to "Photoshop" those in as all those goodies will be present when it is complete.
...well all except for the vintage tailpiece...unless you might want to get rid of that one

And my Grovers are wavy...remember the brand new set Marc Seligman had at MARF II?

Another outstanding job, Dale! Nice color choice, Steve.

Can't wait to see the finished product.

That's a fantastic looking bass! Kudos to Dale for doing some great work...those inlays are the best. There is a romance to those that the other ones will never have. I want the factory to go back to those SOOOOO badly.

Fantastic work Dale. One would think that by this time, I wouldn't be so surprised (pleasantly) at what comes out of the hands of skilled craftsmen, but I confess that I am...every time. Steve, I can imagine how excited and fortunate you feel. Gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous!

Great ressurection! Now about recreating that SS shot....

We'll never see it!

Another really nice restoration. Kudos. Oh, Steve, I hope it sounds like Darren's, his sounds HUGE.

Darren's is a 72 with new pickups. Mine is a Dec 73 with 73 pickups. My Aug 73 MG sounds great!

Andy Winter knows what I mean.

Darren, did you take a pic of Andy in a Star Stowe pose or did Andy take a pic of YOU in a Star Stowe pose?

Oh please No, I've just eaten my breakfast..!

That is some awesome work on the Bass.
Can't wait to see the finished project.

That is gorgeous. Beautiful work Dale. Oh, I can't wait for mine!

She is going to be a beauty isnt she? We are definetly looking forward to her arrival.. maybe we can both take the day off to celebrate...

(notice the conspicious lack of comment about the SS portrait..)
