Personally, I am able to resist only because I just bought a similar-looking custom Precision from a TB member. (Posted here a ways back.)

I got mine at a scratch and dent price of $595

The first scratch/dent is always tough, but every one after that is added mojo.

When it was time to build a Jazz bass, Honeyburst was the only color I considered. I'll have to shoot some pics of the finished bass soon. | Love the Telecaster. Nice work.
