The neck is heavy at 1.2 kilos, but the weight is worth it. It feels spectacular and is super stable.

As long as I steel wool (0000) it when I change strings, it keeps it very clean and smooth. The colors just add to the character of the wood and the look.

How's that sound?
The Bqart "open, airy, sound; with not so much mids, and kinda overpowering highs and lows" sound has never worked well for me...
Great lookin' bass!

Great lookin' bass! | yup , this bass is passive .
... hmmm , never had any problems with " overpowering " highs or lows ...
although the mids are somewhat lacking . i may have to look into changing the tone pot , or maybe change the capacitor ...
weight is heavier than any of my P-Basses , and i really only use it at practice these days ...

I've got the DC's in my Skyline, but I really need to pull the Bart NTMB-L preamp before I give it any kind of judgment. They seem like nice pickups. I really want to hear what they sound like without the Bart coloration. And coil splitters - I've gotta have the coil splitters!

I love these pickups. Can get almost any tone with this setup but i use it in single coil mode 90% of the time.

Gecko-5; (medium) birdseye maple neck with redwood top on mahogany body; Bassline active soapbars on an OBP-3. That Kahler bridge is a bitch to intonate. |

Looks like it was carved from one big hunk of wood. I'd love to take it for a test drive.

It's almost done.
I'm just waiting for the bridge and pickup mounting screws and I'll be able to finish it.
Cheers
