a Rochester NY thing or a competition between Scott & DrBassman?

You have to something indoors up there in Winter - I understand that it's chilly sometimes not to mention the polar bears out looking for their next meal :P

No competition here, just fellow bassists who love to tinker and happen to live up the road from one another.

 It is funny that we live about 10 min from each other, must be something in the water.

To be honest, you are somewhat correct.  Once winter sets in up here (100-200 inches of snow per year), I settle into my home and wait it out.  I've always loved woodworking and have only had time for it the last 2 years with both of my kids out of the house.  I'm not a skier and I'm not into skating any longer. I guess snowshoeing is the next stage for us geezers!   :P

Definitely it is crying for a Five ply black pickguard with a white bird logo

Thanks guys!  I'm leaving it without a pickguard for the time being.  I like the grain showing through.  I felt a little guilty using the Gibson truss rod cover since it's obviously not a genuine Gibson, but it just looks so nice.

I prefer your real one - edges seem more rounded on it -, but this is nice too. What is lurking underneath those chrome retro pup covers?

The pups are USA Gibson from a defunct Orville TB bass.  I got them from a forum member in one of the other hangouts.  Once I figure out my wiring mistakes, they should sound pretty good!
