Just couldn't help showing off the bass I finished assembling this morning. No, I didn't do the finish - bought the body finished that way. I think this one will be fun to use on stage, but first I'm excited to play it a bit and get it dialed in. Anyway, put on your sunglasses and enjoy!

Also curious - who did the paint job?

Lovely though.

Lovely though. | My '75 P-Bass has a similar routing gap in the exact same spot. Lovely bass!

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Sep 2003 Location: New York City, NY | | | Very cool! I was on the lookout for an ASAT a number of years ago, and when a gold sparkle one with matching headstock came up I knew that was the one I had to get!!! I'ts good to see gold fever hit someone else the same way.
Very nice build! Enjoy!!
P.S. That looks great under the lights....
