Let's see pimped 51 Ps

Thanks... they play and sound as good as they look. Chris Benavente carves up a killer bass!

I've said it before ( in person at a gtg,) and I'll say it again: those 2 basses are aesthetically the most beautiful Fender style basses, ever. Like going to a custom car show and looking at a piece of work and thinking, that used to be a Bel Air, the lineage to the form of the Leo original is there, the modern is there and they are beasts to hear.
 
Updated photo... almost done... so close I can taste it...

Knobs are:
1. Vol/Vol stack
2. Always on Vintage type tone Roll-off / Push/Pull Active or Passive mode
3. Mids / Pull for Mid Sweep
4. Bass/Treble stack

Still needs '51P pickup installed and mini-switch for coil-tap on rear FatStack. Hopefully can be fit in between knobs on control plate.
