Thanks.
USA Model
Only 3 made
#1 Prototype-Mule for making JB's
#2 JB's Grinch
#3 Mine
Well, my JB is pretty "damaged" already so there's high probability it will be converted to fretless. I'm convinced it will be an even better bass without the frets. Will update if and when.
Holy crapola! I just noticed that you have 4 Cadillac Guitars, including the triple pup model! Wow!
I always saw the two next to the pink striped bass, but not the other two on both edges of the picture. Really nice!
Oh....you have no idea. Welcome to Steve "The Cadillac Cowboy" Dallas' Cadillac Ranch...

Nice!
How's the Sledgehammer with the Aggy?
I have the 4 string and I haven't had it out in a while.
Thanks for posting!
Check the Deans in my profile sometime.
Is it the camera angle or do some of those Caddy's have different size headstocks and wings decal?

SLEDGEHAMMER! That's it. Can never remember the name....
It had an active in it, but the original owner removed it. I think it sounds great. Probably my best sounding bass overall.

Camera Angle
Well, without further ado

Just added some class to my favorite basses.
I made these brass nuts over the weekend, from blanks.
I got carried away & also polished the frets, they look really sharp.

Cool!
Any pix?
Where they complete blanks that you had to slot from scratch?
Where’d you get them from?
How much did you have to modify them to get them to fit in the slot in the neck?
Details, details…need details
This is where I got them.
6 Brass Nut Blanks 4 or 5 String Electric Bass or Banjo Guitar Blank Universal | eBay
The two Deans have no slot but the Spector did & they were the correct width to fit without modification.
I cut them to the neck width, slotted the string positions with a hacksaw & then used precision
index drills, using a professional flexible shaft, variable speed, "Dremel" type drill/grinder. Using the drill bit flutes
to actually cut the string slots to the correct depth. Much easier than some expensive tools out there.
There are other sources that sell the brass in longer lengths for less money.
Hope this helps.

Nope.
It just shows where you are in this club consecutively compared to other members.
But hey, who knows, maybe we'll do something sometime where you might need to know it. Never know.
And thank you for contacting @BradWorld directly. I really appreciate that.
