Well, I have been teasing for a bit without pictures, but I finally took some. Im loving this bass. Yes, I know its not the original neck, and yes I know its not a Fender, but the previous owner had it set up this way, and it feels awesome.

Why fix it if its not broken? And, I would never sell it as a Fender, I have no plans to get that bad mojo on myself.

Here are some pictures! Im a terrible photographer, I hope these work.

There she is. My secondary bass, almost as good as my MIA. Im still debating if I want to put flats on her, covers, etc., but the time will come.
 
My main P doesnt have a cover for a reason, as I dont slap on it (The reason I like covers!.. weird, I know..), and I move all around it for different tones.

But this one is going to be my thump bass, so Ill probably fully cover it.
