I'll look him up on YouTube. It would be cool to hear him play, and maybe get an idea of what his bass sounds like. I called my local guitar center, but they don't have one on hand to try out. I'll call a few more places before I decide. Tony Franklin, huh? You learn something new...

That bass is sharp! I like that it has the p-j setup...best of both worlds. Is there an advantage to having a 3-way switch vs a knob to control the pickups? Or is it in keeping with the aesthetic of the bass?

Cool, thanks man (thumbs up!) I've seen TBers dropping that name a few times, but I'm not familiar with Tony Franklin or his basses. I'll have to do some diggin'. Most of what I've read has been positive though.

^Awesome. Thanks for the feedback. I really appreciate it. Especially these days, where spending money has taken on a whole new meaning for me.

Your bass project turned out very cool ;)

I have a Genuine Kay Bass Viol for sale. According to its serial number, it was manufactured in/around 1949. Because of it's age, the finish is a bit rough in some spots. But, it sounds great, even though I never had it professionally set up. I'm sure if it were set up proper, it would...

I was in your shoes too, and sold all of my equipment. Had to pay rent somehow! This was back in 2006/2007. Sometimes, a break is good. It gives us time to reflect on what's important in life. Just remember, you can always rebuild, and pick it up again in the future.
