At last! A few things need to be tweaked like a small radius on the ends, tail piece screws and the radius on the trailing edge of the '63-'65 tailpiece. Bridges will come with the early tailpiece but I am also having some of the later Nonreverse "square" end ones made.

Just back from holiday, turn on the computer, find this! Man, it's like bass pornography!!! Might have missed any discussion on the subject, so Scott, are you gonna make a series of these?

 Yep offering the whole unit, bridge, tailpiece, anchors and inserts. No final price yet but I am hoping to keep it under $200. I am still debating about the hex nuts, they look cool but are not practical. I may just offer them to those who want them and they can install them themselves.

 The correct tail piece screws will be provided, I just don't have any on hand at the moment.

Chrome tailpiece would be nice for this bass.

Mark is that a original tailpiece or one of Bill's?

It's not an original, this bass was Baz' the Kurt's (DC10Bass) before I bought it - so it could be one of Bill's. I've nevr seen any close shots of his so I don't know.
