If I were you, I'd make it a point to get it done ASAP. You don't want to have that invoice cancelled.

I have the new pick up installed and have rewired the bass with CTS 500K pots as of today, I've been taking pics as I go along. I also sent the PG away along with Rob's drawing of the original to have a new custom one made

Absolutely.  It will take a few days to process, and I have to think that the due date is on the receiving side, not the sending side.  I went to the bank a couple hours after receiving the invoice.  In that couple hours, the exchange rate had changed enough that my cost in US dollars actually went up $12.

Me to ! Scott what color did you get ?

BLACK!

Originally I wanted the first-run white ( not a single white bass or guitar in the collection! ) but why mess up tradition ( for me anyway ) I haven't played anything but black onstage in about 10 years. I'm going Marks' route ( with the bass not wardrobe ) I've got Dr B's Tailpiece, a chrome TB plus, a set of reverse wind re-issue tuners and a set of NOS bridge and pickup covers. I'm psyched.

Scott ( GOT ) I think we all would be interested in a side by side comparo with a "reall" NR, IIRC you've got one or two.

Right-o Dave, Thursday is my day off, so I'll be at the bank in the morning. I've sent an e-mail to Roman also and I'll send another when I get the transfer done. We'll see how the US $ is fairing against the Euro!

Mine shipped last Friday and showed up yesterday!
I'm thinking I might change out the pickguard for a black one with white edge and add Ripper-type knobs on it.

[Dave W]

Five days! I'm impressed.

[Denis]

So am I, Dave! I emailed him last Monday or Tuesday for the first time, went back and forth a couple of times over remaining colors, decided on black, got invoiced, wired the money, it shipped Friday and the bass was on my porch at 9am yesterday morning! 

It's, uh, slightly prone to neck dive. Heh, a relocated pin is definitely in the picture for this week.

You can't say I didn't tell you about the neck dive Denis.....
