NBD - Telecaster Thinline-Inspired Parts Bass

I considered one of those, even as a base platform. But it was easier in the end to do what I did. Enjoy your new bass!
Update - I've swapped pickups in this bass. For the neck, I should have purchased the LZN-B90 to get grounding. The Fralins are good, but not the sound I wanted.
Right now I have a TV Jones Thunder'Blade and a Curtis Novak PB-CC in the P position. I am probably going to swap the PB-CC for the Vintage-Style Late '60s Split Single-Coil Precision Bass pickup from the Vintera III. I love the sound of my 68 P and these look like they'll get me that sound without spending an arm and a leg to have more of a traditional 70s fretless P sound.
I can say the bass records well which is always a test for me.
