I liked the Paul tribute but I love white basses and that looks really nice. The S models are my favorite.

I like it, but what prompted you to make the change after all these years?

Looks awesome, but I'm also wondering why the change?

Basically, because I wanted to.
20 years ago when I did the MMT-ish paintjob, I didn't see ANYONE else with their bass painted like that. Nowadays there's a lot, plus you can buy a Chinese knock-off with MY paintjob.
