Coolest looking P-Bass?

A raspberry smoothie is a better comparison than my son likening it to bubblebum.
Definitely not bubble gum. More like a nice raspberry sherbet.
The pick guard reminds me of the fruit in the ice cream.
Actually the whole thing is a modified Mike Dirnt model. It is sort of in transition. Someday I hope to repaint it some gaudy flake tone.
Without a pickguard, there is access to the truss rod. When I repaint it (knock wood) I will put a notch in to improve access even more.
Currently it is loaded with an original Rio Grande Muy Grande P and half-rounds, and it's one of the biggest-sounding basses I've ever had.
My original intention when the year started was to sell off the neck and body with the original stuff, but there were no takers, so I modded it. Glad I did. It displaced the other one I had in this thread, which is now gone to several different homes.
Very interesting.
Thanks for the info!
The whole package looks like the "Edward G." model now. Great job!

Just a butterscotch tint and satin clearcoat. My wife and I drew on it and a friend woodburned everything in. It features a small sketch by Batman Inc. artist Chris Burnham - very nice of him to do that for me. Here's the back and a closeup of the sketch.

Here's mine:
A heavily modded MIM Black Label...
All black hardware, BadAss II, gold guard and active EMG.
oh my god!!!!
just....OMG!!!!
You guys make it very hard not to GAS....
that is the coolest blue bass I have ever seen
I want!
Here's a 5 string I put together from parts with my 13 year old son. The body is walnut finished in tung oil. It was interesting how the body ended up matching the Pau Ferro fretboard when finished. A very nice father-son project.
That is really beautiful! I love how the fretboard matches the walnut body. That is one fine PJ.
After giving it a little thought, other than the body, neck, neck plate, and control plate, everything on it is a mod.

Very nice Vondran !!!
That... is amazing. Is it a jazz body?
Where'd you get the pickguard?
That is probably the best looking jazz with p pickups bass I've ever seen.
