I think P basses look okay back routed and no pickguard if they have a fancy top to add interest. Otherwise they look too plain.

I did get lucky and I was able to score my dream Sadowsky from the classifieds (if you're reading this Jim, thanks again!) Just gotta wait for the shop to get single coil pickups in, drop em in and I'm all set.
Post those pics as soon as you get them!
It is a master class in patience for sure. It is hard to get it out of your head for sure but the wait it totally worth it. I'll get the pic up as soon as I get it.
You should have a look from MY side! I've played a lot of basses in my lifetime & let me tell ya, it's not easy kissin' this one goodnight. EDIT: speaking of which I added 3 to the Van M. folder.Nothing I don't like about about that bass, it's just PERFECT!![]()
One of these days we're all gonna brag about how beautifully unusual our fretboards are. There's a lot of gorgeous multi pattern/colour wood out there that is just waiting for a home on somebody's bass fretboard. I bought some walnut veneer once (not implying fretboard wood-I can't tell you how much I love that *fretboard.*
), that was actually white & brown. Stunning when finished in a rubbing varnish. I'd like to see more of that kind of stuff on tops as well. I give you a ton of credit. I was going to order a brand new Sadowsky but I'm really, really impatient with waits lol.
