Wow thanks. I agree it’s a very attractive grain pattern… including the headstock.
I’m so used to a P bass that the smaller body seems a lot smaller even though it’s really not.

Congrats Mike, that is one great looking bass. Hope it sounds as good as it looks ( I'm sure it does)

Just curious....is the distance from the nut to the center of the PU the same distance as that classic P position?
I just realized this is a maple cap neck, so cool.
I have to say it again, this neck is "to die for." I've never played a more beautiful neck in my life. Fender AVRI / American Original Precision doesn't even come close. I've owned both as well as at least 10 other Fenders. It reminds me more of an EBMM Stingray classic mixed with a Fender Jazz.

And you were happier with a lesser bass?
I just bought a 1981 Wunkay, and my initial thought is that I may be done with P basses. And I love P basses.
Beautiful bass, OP. Enjoy it!
yep, I’ve already listed my American Special P for sale. The quality and feel replaces any Fender, and with flats I can’t tell much of a difference in sound at all except that the G&L sounds a little more growly wide open but then has even more options. And the neck on the G&L is Rolls Royce status.
It was the 2nd best (After a 1958) Precision I ever played in over 50 years so the answer is yes. A dozen years later, I still have that Precision bass. Opinion Vs Opinion. Article 1. Love it.
Unintended truth. Fact is, the headstock I was referring to was commented on by a previous contributor and I was responding to that in agreement. The OP's bass is a nice looking guitar and my comment in typical internet fashion was associated to that when that was never the intention. The internet will always be an inferior communication tool to speech. Again, the OP's guitar looks fine to me.
Bring that bass on down to your local Woodcrafter's shop and when you get it home you're going spend some time wiping drool off of it.
I can't honestly think of seeing nicer finish and wood grain figuring on anything made of wood anywhere, nohow.
Well done!!

thanks a lot, I really enjoy it as well. It seems to melt in all directions in unison with the shape of the body and also the headstock.
Stunning. Man how I wish they could go back to that headstock for everything they make.
That is a sweet lookin' bass 
I have spent a lot of time eyeing the CLF L-1000's online. I'd love to try one someday. And if I were to buy an L-1000 then it would 100% for sure be the same as yours. I love the natural swamp ash look
