I have totally understood you from the beginning Oliver. I just wasn't too pleased with how you wrote it down. I am satisfied with what you've written below:

Sorry to steal the thread a little but anyway.... Is it possible to request a more figured fingerboard from the custom shop?
You can tell this to your dealer and they might put it in the order under "special comments" which is a section we mostly use for when people want very specific things, like let's say someone wants a name inlay, so put on the specs that they want the nameplate inlay and under comments we add what it should say. But this doesn't guarantee you'll get exactly as you are imagining it.
It clearly states that there is no real guarantee. However, concerning the Pommele, you wrote this:

I think Ian's CS Streamer is a prime example of what you can expect when you buy a CS Warwick.
Well...................I do believe that one should definitely not expect to get a Bubinga Pommele wood like on Ian's bass. His Pommele is truly exceptional, and Ian is very lucky to have such a specimen. An average Pommele specimen looks less spectacular. You could get something like that, but definitely don't count on it............... :roll:
Actually you should wait for nothing less than that. We have just come across a new batch of Bubinga Pommele that is truly amazing.
I'm worried that someone might interpret this as a guarantee that you
will get Pommele of a very high grade. I thought this was "strategically risky"...........Anyone who would get a CS bass with Bubinga Pommele and would get Pommele with lower quality grain could reject the entire bass and have Warwick make another one, this time with a very high grain Pommele. I think juridically, the customer has the right to do so. Finally, you wrote:

This is exactly what I'm saying. If you order a standard Thumb NT for example from your favorite, it might be that they ordered it a few months back and it's not going to be made out of the new bath of Pommele. But if you make an order through the Custom Shop, the bass will be made after you place the order, therefore, the chances of it having the looks of Ian's bass are VERY HIGH. I have seen this batch with my own eyes, and trust me, I will look like that or better.
In my opinion, this is what you should have written from the beginning. Well, I do think we all understand each other; I was just concerned about an interpretation problem.......................Cheers.
