NBB My Franken 6 fretless

Started getting my 6 string fretless Franken 6 bass going. It is made of parts acquired over the last 5 years. I bought the Ibanez prestige 6 string neck on Ebay with a broken truss rod. I pulled the fretboard and replaced the truss rod, de-fretted it, reshaped the headstock, added a veneer and reshaped the heel. The body is a Dean burled poplar 6 string that was also acquired on Ebay with damaged finish. I stripped the finish and reshaped the body. It has an ABM bridge, Hipshot Ultralites and Barts from a Modulus 6. I still need to get electronics, coat the fretboard and do a wipe on poly finish. This thing plays amazing and has mwaa for days. Hoping to get it finished in the next few months. Thanks for looking.
