1951-5 Precision Bass

Thanks, guys. It has turned out better than I'd hoped. Not because of a lack of confidence in my building skills, but more the "inspiring instrument DNA"; some basses compel you to play better or simply differently. This does so. A second bass would be fun. I know there is room for improvement off this one. I'll probably wait until i can remake the templates for the body and pickguard on CNC or laser. Certainly, a Maple board/Ash body version would be a nice compliment or something along those lines.
