Ha, no Volvo's here. I would love to get my hands on a vintage wagon though.

That is a great looking rig. I have something similar in mind, and hope my outcome will be half a good ;-)

I am intrigued by your bass...early 50s precision but with a split coil in the neck position and a jazz pup in the bridge position. Ebony no-marker board... Is that a custom creation as well?

Nailed it dude, good work!

It's a Warmouth beast with a tone that could melt butter. It is a lot of fun play. I drilled for through strings and laminated a walnut veneer on the head stock, but the rest of it was just assembly, finishing and wiring. It's going to get a set of flats for the next set of strings. :noob:

Only because you asked.

54 P bass body: Swamp Ash

Tele neck, 1-11/16th nut width,
Vintage small frets, maple w/ ebony fretboard (side dots, no fret markers).

Lindy Fralin pups:
Neck: Split 51, +5% overwound
Bridge (70's position):Split Jazz, -5% underwound

Controls: 2 knobs 1 switch
Master Volume/
3 way switch (either pup soloed, or both in parallel)/
Master Tone

Edit: The low end punch/ response that I get through the J15 while playing with a pick on this bass is incredible. I honestly never liked a pick until this config.

That really sounds like a fun bass. I have built several basses and one guitar from parts. If you are willing to invest the time, there are few better ways to get just what you want and nothing you don't. Very unique, and sounds like its a great player.
