I don't yet Andrew, I have a pretty substantial *downpayment* on mine.
If I didn't say it earlier, I'm figuring on doing this once in my lifetime - I'm not a wealthy person.
By doing this I get the bass I want, and can somewhat afford - I'd never consider refinning a '60's 'Bird into metallic orange (sacrilige!) but a new custom one for me, yeah. Mike could never make lots of anything tho, his place is a small, high quality shop, he works with all clients famous or not (like me) and takes a lot of pride in that. I have no problem supporting his efforts, and I know all of us that love 'Birds will benifit from this just from the parts standpoint alone.
