Hey Bud,
that bass for Tom looks great. i will have to stop by and check it out. Tom is in for a treat. I guess he is going for that growly tone. going to have some bite to it. This could be a great fretless bass.

Thanks. The pickups are custom made Nordstrand Big Splits. The bridge came from Hipshot. I just call them and tell them what I want they build if for me.

I want to build a three-string next, seriously.

If I had the money right now, I'd order one.
What's the story on the 7 so far?
