Nice score.
I bought the bridge set off a Dean Rhapsody for the build of the twelve string bass that I built about a year ago. That was a nice set of hardware.

   Looks nice! I have been contemplating one of these, there are a couple on Reverb that are calling me.

I played one once. Seemed pretty solid. Didn't plug it in, but the pickups would be easy enough to upgrade if you even need to. Might be fine as is. Enjoy!

No need to upgrade anything on this bass. My fingers definitely need to improve to manage three stings, but frankly the neck is not more difficult than a 5 strings bass

I bought one quite some time ago and still have it.  I swapped out the fundamental strings with flats and I like it better that way.
 It's heavy.  I don't gig with it because my current band doesn't play "Jeremy"  I'm sure there are other uses for it, but it stays home.

Which string gauge do you use. Mine has some light Daddario, but I’m thinking to replace them
