 Wired up and ready to rock ! The Tbird logo is just a transfer, I'll install the real deal later. Funny how a output jack and some screws can make a project look complete.

Is that that the former carcass body with a piece missing you got off ebay some time back?  :o

A worthy resurrection that will be - why isn't it finished, were you waiting for Doc Bassman's stringholder?

 Well I built this bass for the Model G pickup and while it sounds great the string spacing is a bit narrow so I'm thinking of putting a Lindy Fralin Bassbucker in there, the chrome sure would look sharp !
