 I got the body back yesterday  from my friend Alan and boy does it look great ! I have the bass partly assembled, not wired up yet and the pickguard is a temporary one, I have one with the logo ready to go. I can't wait to plug this in !

I find them ugly myself...................................... but they sound freak'n awsome ! Next to 60's Thunderbird pups these are my favorite.

Sweet!  The pg w/stamp will be a nice touch.

Actually a cream body would look cool with the pickup, or a matching cream guard.

Looking great Scott! That's making me want a Bach Bird SO bad........

Oh yeah, it's really NICE!  Don't know how I missed this post.  I just can't get enough of white Gibsons.  Hardly any Gibson I've ever seen in white looks bad.  Tearing out the kitchen's been a real pain in the butt!  It keeps cutting into my bass time.
I'm fixin' a hole where the rain gets in..........cuz I'm built for a kilt!

Wow, it's turning out real nice Scott. I remember it from way back in the DP times. You've had it for some time now right?

 Yeah I started it a while ago,but not to long ago, it has been sitting at my friends auto body shop for 4-6 months that has been the real hold up. I'll just shot bodies myself from now on.

I did not know you moved to Texas?

Now what about the Frosty you mentioned?

Just a tease?
