First time assembly Franken P

Man, that bass is killer. It was a treat to play it Matt. You did a great job. That Reverand P pickup is the total bomb!

It's funny, I had my brand new fancy schmancy Skjold that I just finished polishing, and Matt was talking about taking the steel wool and screwdriver to his. It's amazing how many different paths there are to 'beauty'.

That's a really, really nice playing and sounding P Bass!
 
wow man, that looks great. i think you should put a black pg or one like the one thats on that green bass. White pickguards are not my thing unless its a black bass occasionally. Your choice though! I really like the neck. And you did a sweet job relicing that body. I've been trying to do that to my naturally..(forced, of course).

all around, great job. i'd love to hear it. I love Revs, and hearing a Rev sound from that bass, would be crazy awesome.

Man, Ken digging a passive P bass with flats and a relic job?! Put together by amatuers?!? Everyone better start confessing their sins, RIGHT NOW...

Ken, I'd like to have you put my P through it's paces sometime and see what you think. Maybe at the next GTG...

I'd love to check it out. A P with flats is of course not my personal preference, but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate it... classic tone, and Matt's is just killer!

I'm so glad the body's straight & true, that's such a problem with these P basses.
