The JagBird is such a killer-bass, it's the best project I've done ever. So I have already made plans for a second JagBird.  8)

This time:
* same bodyshape and mahogany
* Allparts maple Jazzneck black blocks and binding
* ChiSonic CS4 Humbuckers
* Finish: British Racing Green  8)

That might be my favorite bass of all times - just based on looks.
Beyond words how beautiful that is.

First time I've checked this thread in a while and all I can say is that your new bass is a masterpiece! I almost would forgo the pickguard entirely BUT, if you went with one I'd say it would have to be smallish and definitely black.

I may be alone in this, but I thought the two-pickguard drawing looked really cool. Either way, this bass is just lovely.

Sorry to be so late to the party.
That bass turned out fantastic and I look forward to seeing the BRG model too!

Cheers!
