The bird has landing. It took a while but it was waiting at my front door friday evening when i got home. Very nice bass. Well made and very pretty in an ugly kind of way. I will have to move the strap lock as recommended. Sounds pretty good in a one man band but i will have to take it out to a rehearsal and gig before i decide if the pickup stays. I will change the pots next weekend and AB against my 76 and other artec loaded bass. 500k pots the majority used???
here are the obligatory pictures of the bass
and a family portrait of the in line gibson clan...
thanks to all you guys for turning me on this beauty and thanks to Rob for a job well done....
