Soon (hopefully) to be transformed into a three-pickup, five-control, double-output beast. I plan to wind all three pickups myself.
Very cool...what will the third pickup be?

A neck mudbucker, either in the style of a Gibson EB-0 (a fat-wound sidewinder pickup) or a DiMarzio DP120 Model One (a regular humbucker), mounted close to or underneath where the 24th fret would be. And an equally insane wiring schematic, but I'm saving the explanation of that that for when I actually draw one up.

Could be original as Fender offered a color they called "Walnut" back then.

Yes, original color. I think it was offered from '73 to '78-ish or so. Walnut, Mocka, Root Beer... I think those are all names for that color, though not sure which is the "real name" May be Walnut as Billy_B mentioned.

Here's a curiosity I bought a few months back...a Fender Cowpoke.

Always been a J man but wanted to try a bit of P puppy power. This thing is LOUD. Nice active per-amp.

I had one of those basses in red. It was the first new bass I bought myself back in the mid 90's.

Ok, I hadn't seen this one before. Holy cow, that's fantastic! Great job replicating the cover art.... I've always been a fan of that cover. My dad used to have a book called "The Album Cover Album" and it had all these great shots of classic album cover art throughout. That was one I kept coming back to over and over.

If only I was a King Crimson fan....

Haha it is a cool piece of art, I kept that cover as my desktop background for a long time. look at some of the other work he did, there's a Jimmy Hendrix one on the first page, his face is made out of stars and galaxies
