2003 TB, lotsa chrome!!!
drbassman:
Here's my "newest" TB. All finished except for the rear control cover, gotta make one sometime. It sounds fantastic. I really can't quite tell, but it seems a little deeper in tone than my white TB with the plastic pup covers. That one is pretty growly and full of mid-ranges. This one growls but has a nice bottom end. Both have TI jazz rounds on them.

Very sharp!! How do you like those Jazz Rounds on a TB?
That's it, I'm ordering a chrome Supertone.

Hey Ray, I use TI Jazz rounds on all of my TBs. I love them. They bend like crazy, are tightly wrapped and easy on the fingers. They are my favorite rounds, period. Plenty of piano-like ring but not so harsh.
The Supertone is a bit big, but it is very flexible and the action on this bass is super. I wasn't going for a vintage look anyway. This works well on this one IMHO.
rockinrayduke:
As soon as these Elixirs start to fade on the ObG I'm going to try the Jazz Rounds on it, based on your recommendation! Hopefully Wymore Guitars will have a chrome Supertone for me this weekend.
What is the toggle for?
Rikkimax:
VERY NICE!!! I assume you had to route the body to get those pickups to fit. Correct?
