I know... that's what I mean too... ;)

Maybe this will get you guys back on track  ;D  All wired up CTS pots, Switchcraft jack, .047 orange drop. The pick up is a old Ibanez, I am keeping my eye out for something authentic. Even drilled the holes for the bridge cover just didn't look right without them.

Sweet!  One of these days I'm going to buy a Sunburst '77 Fretless with the one piece maple blank plank neck.  I've wanted one ever since seeing a picture of Kenny Passarelli playing one in the booklet that came with Elton John's Greatest Hits Part II.  I just love the way they do the burst finishes on the 1977 basses.
