Why the block inlays? That makes me so mad. I do like the upgrades for Dave's signature though. I want shark fins.

Jackson and Dave got close to a nice looking bass but just missed the target at the last minute.

I like the Kelly Bird. The lower horn nicely echoes the lines of the headstock, the block inlays echo the soapbar pups, and the overall aesthetic is that of a metaled-up thunderbird. Well done, I say.
