I like that!  Nice balance between bright and deep.  Sounds very good.

This is a very cool bass. It sounds the business too.

The only thing I would change would be the pickguard. I would stick a 5-screw, un-beveled singly ply white pickguard on there. Like an old 'Whiteguard' Telecaster.



This is a killer look on a Tele.

That looks beautiful.
But I opted for this starting point:

I think I'd have gone with a Tele control plate too

I think there wouldn't have been enough Thunderbird left, if I'd done that.

I agree.

I agree too. I think it's pickguard or control plate and not both on this body.
