Still, it's nice to come back here every so often and see what you guys are playing :). Some really eye-popping :eek: basses in this thread :hyper:!

Very nice, Evan. ;)

Can you tell us a little about it? (pickups, woods, et cetera)

indeed.

Pete Hilton is a builder in Carl Thompson's shop (and has been for the past few years). Carl gave Pete his blessing to start building his own instruments. There are about a 1/2 dozen out there.

Pickup - single Kent Armstrong (passive tone control only, Pete's passive circuit...similar to Carl's, but more subtle).

Woods - Top/headstock top/pickup cover = cocobolo, body/neck = walnut, back/headstock back = bocote

Misc = awesomeness...probably less than 6lbs, 32" scale, 29 frets (all accessible), intelligent design, PERFECT balance

Cool, Evan.

Much good luck with it.

Hope to see it before next August. ;)

Here are some recent pictures of my Filakovsky Jazz bass.

I've raved about it many times, but here is a photo that finally portrays this gorgeous Koa top as you would see it in person.

A diagonal.

The bridge.

Some of you already know that I am the ambassador to the amphibians, and the ruler of the reptiles. But did you also know that I am the benefactor of the butterflies? :rollno: :D
So here are two buggy shots. The first, a cool background with a warm-toned insect...

And for those who prefer the opposite color combo, a warm background with a cool-toned butterfly.

I love this bass.

Mike ;)
