I understand the whole sustain and tension theory with string through is subjective to other variables of the bass, obviously there's still folks around that find some value in this practice or it simply wouldn't be as prevalent as it is today.

I'm amazed by people who can make their own instruments by hand!
A thing of beauty indeed.
(And I'm over here chipping paint off my P bass trying to install straplocks in it. )

The only thing I'd change would be to ditch the purpleheart nut. In my unasked-for opinion, it sticks out like a sore thumb and is very distracting.
