I also like the Tenn. State quarter he used as a string tree. He gives a reason for it on his thread about this bass.

Thanks all, there is another reason for the Tennessee quarter , that is also my home state.

My cheapest and most played bass (SX pro neck with head stock rounded off, geddy lee fender body, schaller roller bridge, fender MIA pickups, Gibson 3 way switch, no volume or tone pots=hotter signal). It's the bass on the right with the maple board.

My Frankenhoppus:

The mods I did are pretty subtle. You may have to look close.

Jazz body with a p pickup and carvin neck, me like!

Here's my 2006 MIM P and my Amber Squier VM, all I did was swap the necks and pickguards,the MIM has SD Quarter pounders and the headstock is shaved and has a vintage bridge...
