Mutt list:
Any suggestions to modify this list please drop a reply in here!One body mahogany early Gibby bass or repopped guitar body? Maybe a one or two piece Mahogany blank and or a template?
One neck mahogany Gibby short bass small neck 61 type 30.5" scale. I have found some nice old Mahogany = enough for a laminated neck or through neck build. Might I suggest if we want to do a neck through Mutt or there is enough here to laminate it with Maple for a really strong but lightweight neck:

One neck pup = Dimarzio Model G pledged one pup Dimarzio Model G Creme MattkOn Lane Poor mid pup ? This is a Lane Poor musicman pup. I originally thought it was a Dan Armstrong = both are out of production.
One Bartolini bridge pup, specs unknown at this time. Pre-amped yes, ZBS-440 pickup (made by Bartolini - discontinued now, I think) This one might be a possiblity and it has one bid at 9.95 now:

Grover clover leaf i have a set i can donate = are Schallers better? Maybe able to sub some lighter Schaller closed gear pledged Grover open gear Re-issue Gibson SG tuners Old PuppyFret wire = type 6150 or 6105
Hard wire = cloth covered type?
Control cover = used or new. Gibby makes replacements, one is listed on the bay now query "Gibson cover"
Knobs = old Gibby hat types?
Pots = unknown what values to use = need suggestions
One Pick Guard early eb3 type = these can be repopped
One set of strings = unknown what type Mike uses
Mike had his strap screwed onto the Mutt. Guess there is no need for strap locks.
I still haven't heard from Mike or anyone who has been in touch with him.
I am trying to figure out if he had an OPB-3 pre-amp on the Mutt? Anyone know? The Watt interview on gibsonbass.com gave me a lot of clues on the Mutt bass.
