I'm not digging the mismatched knobs, but otherwise it looks great!
How does the J pickup sound soloed?
I only had one spare knob... and it was black.
When I get my Sadowsky knobs for my MIA, Ill switch one over. The J sounds awesome, very Jaco-y. Sad thing is, during shipping a wire got knocked loose and I cant mix the two pickups.. bummer. Im going to have Mike fix it, free of charge, so itll be like another NBD when its fixed!
I can't believe I just found this thread!
Nice bass bro!
It inspired me to do one myself! just with frets.

Good! Be sure to join the "club" when we make it.
Got it. The last thing I want is for you guys to be disappointed, it feels like this has been a journey with a family, and the last thing anyone wants is a disappointed family.
Personally, I would call this more of an "inspired by" than a "replica".
It's a sunburst P bass with an added J pickup, and an unlined Maple/Ebony neck. That makes it very similar to Tony's bass, however, the pickups and controls are very different from a true TF replica.
