Cool! Let the secret fish glue do it's magic!:)

BTW, just in case anyone is interested, there were some minor spec changes/additions lately.

- Pickup covers will be ebony, not bubinga
- Threaded inserts will be used in neck to body connection and for wiring compartment coverplate attachment
- This bass will feature a new Shamray bass logo
- The control layout will be volume - tone - pan

Looking good! One can clearly see on the pics how the body halves are glued at a small angle. Now I understand how that concave back is made. Nice wood too!

The body wood looks lovely, just the way I pictured it in my mind! Is this the bridge that is going to be installed on the bass or just a spare bridge?

Received the bass and I am pretty exicted! The instrument looks and sounds great! 

I'd like to say thanks to Alexandr, Michael, Andrey Solomatin and Fydor Chernyshev for their artistic work. Job well done, guys!

Before I make any decent pictures, I'd like to repost some of the pics that Michael sent me during the last few days of construction.

Marcus,

Sorry for not replying, I was out of town for a while. I paid $1100 for the bass + $64 for a HSC. A relative of mine brought the bass from Moscow to US, so shipping was essentially free.

I took some better pictures of the bass, but somehow I can't attach them right now. I will send them to Alexandr and hopefully he'll post them here when his Internet connection is back on.

Again, I can't resist to tell how much I love this bass. My bandmates gave me big thumbs up for it's looks and tone.

And your bass just looks awesome! The ME-0001 thread was one of the things that actually convinced me to order a bass for myself. I also plan to install TI flats when the factory strings go dull, but these fuckers are expensive here - $54!

$1100 for your bass was really cheap.
I'm accually into ordering a fretted 5 string myself very soon.

My ME-0001 really kicks.
I've strung it up with Elixir string because it was strung up with some bad D'addario strings.  Here in Sweden you can't buy TI Flats so I have to order them from US.. That sucks big time..
