Thanks, FuzzBass & nutdog! It does play and sound super at home. I haven't been able to play it live (worship leader is still recovering from surgery) yet, so in the mean time, I sent the pick guard off to JohnK so he can craft one in black abalone. :cool:

I approve of this thread :D If I still were playing bolt on's I'd have some serious case of GAS, (Though the Frog above sparked my intrest a little..)

However, the reason that I not play Bolt-on's anymore (well, the original reason is a black one, But I blame this one for making me GAS-Free):

My favorite combo! I wish they would bring it back! Beautiful! Enjoy it!
Best wishes,

Blue Basses I do not own, but would love to:

Spector has a beautiful Bahama Blue finish

Aquilina Shelby GT350 (Not completely blue, but still a nice design)

Fender Steve Harris in Royal Blue

I will more than likely return to FBass for another build. I would like a custom MAF6 finished as below. And of course, the AC6 always looks amazing!

The Xotic XB-2 models look great, especially with quilted maple.

Adam Nitti's signature Ibanez looks awesome!

I also dig the Ibanez SR2605, in cerulean blue burst, revealed at NAMM in Jan 2018
