"50th Anniversary" Cataldo G8R 41

Dummy pickup gets replaced with a Model "S" ThunderBucker tomorrow. Pickguard ended up quite a bit smaller due to the size of the Lexan blank but I like it, doesn't overpower everything else. Double stick tape holds it in place.

Playing area of the back of neck is unfinished. Next G8R will have same scalloping on front of body as on back.

Alright, got in the first show, and I am in the timeframe for the "honeymoon" period, but

I THINK THIS IS THE BEST BASS I'VE EVER PUT MY GIRLY LITTLE HANDS ON!!!!!!!!!!!

Comfy to play, perfectly growly, gorgeous to look at, and great balance. Seriously, can't say enough good. Got lots of compliments on both the looks and the sound. Everybody should buy 3 or 4 basses from Carlo, right now!
