I'll be the odd man out here. Here's my Custom Shop Bass VI:
These are sweet! A lot of good looking basses in this thread. I love Custom Shop basses because they are just that custom and you don't generally see too many like the others, very original.
Neither of my 'custom shop's are particularly 'custom'.. but..

It may seem that way from many of the recent posts, but, I think, the Custom Classic Jazz is pretty much the only active in large numbers. I don't think we've seen too many (any?) active Custom Shop Precisions.
As slick_tu pointed out, most of the latest posts are of the Custom Classic Specials which come with active electronics. You can order a FCS bass just about any way you want it.
Thanks for the "WOW", BIGEJ2. I thought I would try one more time to post some "good" pics of the neck. I'm not a photograher and my camera certainly isn't the best, so it's hard for me to take a pic that shows how it actually looks. Which is much better than the pics show. Maybe these will show it better.

I'm not worthy of a CS bass because I have a lot to master on this instrument.
I am, however, a huge fan of these CS basses as pure works of art.
Keep those Pics coming, please!

Even though I obviously think mine looks fantastic, I don't view it as a work of art. After all it is a bass guitar. It's meant to be played and I use mine as my main bass and play it just about everyday. That's what i bought it for.
I'll do my best to keep it looking great, but I'm sure eventually it will start to get that true roadworn look.
I do get alot of compliments on it's looks and I have fun showing it off, but the most enjoyment I get is playing it.
Am I worthy of it? Heck yeah and you are too. Like I said it is a bass guitar. Just happens to be a very nice one.
My newly acquired 2011 Custom Shop Jazz....I'm in love
Can I have a number please!

I have fallen for this bass big time. I actually haven't seriously checked the TB Classifieds since I got it a week ago!
Want a number? Shall we start a club?
Pete, I still cannot fathom ever selling this bass and am greatful to you for taking such great care of her and giving me the opportunity to own the best bass I have ever played!
my exact bass new a few years ago (matched serial #'s... i just got it used on a trade here on tb)... My first CS and a real keeper!
