Put all this together for me and I’ll go through it and organize it and price it all out.
We’ll hash it out back and forth and when we both think we’ve got it down I’ll write up a SHOP PAPER
which is simply a data sheet that I literally print out and thumb tack on my giant production board in my shop.
This way you and I are looking at the same piece of paper.
At point you send me a $100 deposit and I put you “on the board”.
The rest when the bass is 100% done.
Usually I don’t run a CC card [if that’s how you want to pay] until the bass is literally “in the box”.
You’ll get pictures of her along the way and many more when she is 100% done before you get her.
This way you’ll not only have great pics of your bass but you’ll know that she is ‘correct’.
