Pretty bass, but it looks to me like your bridge is way off to the left.

Looks excellent! I love that color, and the metalflake is awesome. The cream colored covers make this bass very distinctive! The bridge does look off center, but it might just be an illusion. You'll see when you string her up.

Sweet J-sus! Nice project mon!

+1 on the clips/vid requests!

 

[dangerkirk]

Well if i can figure out a way to get some thing sound wise i will deliver

The white pickup covers are a great touch.

Uh, yeah...I hate to say it because it's a sweet rig...but that bridge isn't in the right place.

It just doesn't look like your strings will line up in between the magnets like they're supposed to. The bridge should be centered between those two screw holes and dead in line with the pickups. It's about 1/4" - 3/8" to the left.

 

[lowselfesteem]

hot! I like the cream pickup covers in particular

 

[Spinal Tapper]

I'm usually not crazy for creme PU covers - or white ones either, but this bass definitely pulls it off nicely. I like the stack-knobs too. Kinda funky...

 

[dangerkirk]

Yea the bridge has been fixed. the thing with the body is it was once "converted" to a 5 string so there is a huge bridge indention that the BA covered perfectly, but that made it off center but after i posted the pics and got a good look so i moved it a tad and will most likely have to make new adjustments when strings are on.

But im happy with it.
