New P-Bass!! What do you think?

Hello folks. This is my new partscaster p bass. Here we have a Warmoth DIY-Ready P bass body, American Original 60s P bass Neck, Aguilar Pickups, Emerson Tone Control, Tortosie Shell Pickgaurd, and Thomastik Flats! She weighs in at 6.8 Pounds and sounds great. This is modeled after a mix of various famous bass player's stripped 60s p basses. In particular….Jerry Scheff's!

What do you think?
Nice bass.
Good choice on the pickup.

Knock out bass, beautiful fit and finish, perfect basic pickup type and location, minimalist functionality with no added frills or weight. The most needed bass tone and most successful type since 1951. My 2014 vintage MIJ P-bass is a clone of yours except for its white PG and Seymour Duncan pickups. But now I'm liking black pick guards on sleek shiny blonde Fenders. I'd have never tried $70+ TI Jazz flats except they came with the bass. But no other strings are easier to play yet have highs that other flats don't give and yet still hide my bad finger scrapes. And last for epochs? Hopefully.
Mine is the lightest bass I've played and that's necessary with old age. And yes, matching headstock! Like playing a work of art. Congrats. Super bass.
