No Kenny, i've Build it.... oh...you ment Entwistles bass...sorry  ;D . By the way, talking bout the Tequilabird, if i remember right it's similar in color choices...i'm starting to worry....must not butch it...keep away from the tools....

Yeah, i cant wait to start the next one, although it'll take another year to finish, i only have a little time in the evening after the kids are in bed.

P.s. regarding to my statement in the first post i ment the best sound was in single and serie position, only that i have much more volume in serie, i've been told to add a resistance, in the serie position to fix it, can anybody tell me what kind it has to be??

Well Scott, you know that for sure, it's right in the sweet spot. I remember seeing one of your Model G birds with the toggle, did you do anything to resolve the lack of volume between serie/parallel?

Naw I run it full bore all the time. I do use a Seymour Duncan Pickup Booster pedal for my weakling basses (Fenders) it is great for souping up underpowered basses.
