That's also on my radar screen since I had a decal designed with that concept in mind.



That looks like a good possibility there. Maybe there's a way to more tightly integrate the clef and the "Dr. Bassman" logo.
G&L does something similar but using the treble clef symbol in place of the "&" and it works quite well!

I believe there were some Chinese people who thought Mr. Wankel was a wankel.

That's how most of mine work.  It's just which year they'll be finished that counts.

I bought a pair of Filtertron pickups for my old Univox hollowbody at least a year ago...no refit action yet.

Oh boy, I was wondering when you guys would bust my butt over this one!  I am waiting for the head stock logo from the inlay guy.  He said 4-6 weeks (I believe they are actually made in Viet Nam and shipped to him in Oregon).  So, as soon as they come in, I'll toss it in and get the project back up and running.  THe ebony face looks great!

Knowing my restoration rate, it was probably best not to have raised my chrome-dome over the parapet... certainly no rush to finish required - quality, not quantity... ;)

... I believe they are actually made in Viet Nam and shipped to him in Oregon...

(mostly) Made In USA  ;D

OK guys, here's your update, I routed the inlay and will glue it in tonight.  Maybe finally shoot some S&S this weekend!
