That logo is cute! 
As for the fin ... it's certainly intrepid and original. For the bass player that doesn't want to attract too much attention, no doubt.
Well, I know how much you love chrome Uwe - and the silver flake really highlights the wear and age of the chrome. But my camera sucks. So I'll try and take some more hi-def pics to show that here soon.
Things I notice - still has a little neck dive, but not like before with the original neck. But I'm not one of those folks that bitched about the "oogedy-boogiedy neck dive" complaints on Gibsons or G&L ASAT's. That's what wide straps and right elbows are for - feels natural to me.
Also, I'm glad Mike went with the USA Custom neck instead of a stock Fender jazz neck. It doesn't have the Entwhistle vibe on the headstock, but Mike was able to custom fit to a pretty-frickin' tight neck pocket. I've only seen two other Fenderbirds and both had Fender necks, but a neck pocket so big you could have stored a stack of guitar picks in there with room left over for loose change.
So far, I've got a keeper. Something I haven't been able to say about many basses that didn't have "Gibson" stamped on the headstock already. Funny, if it hadn't been for this forum this would have ended up as a parts bass. Good work guys!
