That's what I was thinking. Cool bass. Well thought out and executed.
I stole the shape from Lace's Helix, but it does resemble the Pilot's, especially the back end, just googled one, guess that's where
they stole it. Pretty much I modded the Lace shape to look a little more traditional, have better balance and sit on a knee better.

$50 Ebay Ibanez TR-50 as a donor for neck and body, extended the neck pocket and glued a 2x4 on the back end to have enough to work with.

I'm lucky enough to have had my design training before computers, I get to play with the equivalent of blocks instead of CAD.
