For sale 2002 Custom Pat Bubien "Guitarification" 4-String Bass (Signed "the BooB", Active EMGs)

Up for sale is a beautiful, rare 4-string electric bass handcrafted by Southern California luthier Pat Bubien under his custom boutique brand, Guitarification. 8.8lbs
I have owned this bass and its accompanying black hardshell case for many years with limited information. However, I just pulled the matching wood pickguard and found the builder's signature block cleanly hand-written underneath, dated 4-14-2002.
True to his legendary nickname, he casually hand-wrote: "made by: the BooB".
The Wood & Finish:
The bass features a natural wood finish with a stunning multi-piece laminate neck-through design. Underneath the matching wood pickguard and inside the routed cavities, there is a distinct vibrant green coloration left in the wood. It is a unique piece of the build history, and I am letting the photos do the talking!
