Michael_Walker Москва	Congratulations Marcus, on the birth of your new Shamray Custom Shop bass (Serial number ME 0001)! We will post pictures of it's construction-in-progress from time to time here in this thread. ** This bass is actually the first of a new line of "high-end" Custom Shop basses we are introducing in the spring. Since it pre-dates even the protoypes - rather than giving it 'CB-0001', it will be issued the custom serial number "ME-0001". So Marcus joins Kok, Daniel, and Mats as the last of our "pre-serial" clients... For the curious, here are the specs on ME 0001: Detailed specification of Bass: “SHAMRAY CUSTOM SHOP ME-0001” Custom extra-long scale fretless single-cutaway 5-string (35 inch scale) (entire instrument to be finished “natural” clear gloss lacquer) Body & neck: Body wings of figured Myrtle with bookmatched Spalted maple top & a 3mm dark Sapele "pinstripe" in between. Neck is 5-piece laminate of flame maple & purpleheart. Fretboard: FRETLESS. EBONY - no fret markers. 10 inch radius. Bone nut Side dot markers: @ 3, 5, 7, 9, 12, 15, 17, 19, 21, 24 positions (double dots @ 12 & 24) Hardware: Chrome Schaller 2000 bridge, Chrome Schaller machine heads, Chrome strap locks (recessed) Electronics: Original custom preamp with master volume, magnetic pickup pan, treble, bass, and piezo level control. Knobs: 5 custom made flame maple knobs (from same wood as neck) with Spalt maple caps (from same wood as top) Pickups: 2 Chernishev custom humbuckers, Spalt maple covers (from same wood as top). Twin piezo transducers under bridge. Case: molded flight case. Strings: Elixr NANOWEB medium 45 - 65 - 85 - 105 -130 (roundwound) Special: Figured Myrtle control cavity covers (from same board as the body) Notes: Spalted maple headstock laminate (same wood as top) with custom pearl disk ME logo neck width: 45mm @ nut, 69mm @24th fret string spacing: 18mm @ bridge saddles ** "thinner-than Warwick" (like Rickenbacker) neck profile

bookmatched headstock laminate: made from the same board as the top, Danila picked out a very cool section that shows the flame, the spalt, and the birdseye figure all in one!

Красивая а Вас Fodera получается! Верно, красивая
будет!!! Будет? Ещё более интересно, как это
произведение искусства звучать будет? Также, как
"Бабочки"? Хм...
А задняя дека будет выглядеть, как у оригинала?
То есть, вот так:

Michael_Walker Москва	@fil: This bass will sound better than the majority of Fodera basses - as grounding-breaking and original as Fodera was, his basses are hardly the end-point of bass evolution! This bass, though Marcus chose it to be cosmetically similar to a Fedora, will have tone that Fedora-owners can only dream about! ME-0001's neck heel will be similar to the picture you posted.. it will be carved sometime next week.

Marcus Eriksson	WOW.. Now it really starts to look like a bass. I soon can't wait until it's here so that I may test it.. If only sounds half as good as it already look I'm pleased.
