Love it! Sounds great, Scott. I can't wait to hear your college bird next!

That does sound great.  Frauline was saying that it wasn't that 60s in the body thickness/neck profile side of things (to some degree to be expected because that made things a bit more fragile than they needed to be); what say you bud?  From the side view in yer vid, it doesn't look like they chunked it up too much, but can't really tell much about the neck profile from that.

   The more I play this bass the more I like it.  Oh of course I pine for the two piece bridge and big headstock but I have come to accept what I can not change.  The thicker body helps with being neck heavy and the wider nut and added thickness to the headstock and it's transition to the neck profile certainly helps give more structural integrity.
