John wanted to install the period correct color pickguard, he emailed me this pic today and it is now COMPLETE.. I will have it Friday if all goes well.

That thing is disgusting...but in the most awesome of ways. I'd absolutely love to play it. Congrats!

 

[Shawn Luckman]

Still amazed how good this looks, Hope if Billy plays it that you get it back.

I loved the bass, sound awesome !, definetly the P pickup nail the Billy Sheehan tone, unfortunately i run out of time and i couldn't play all my Mr. Sheehan licks.

Now see, that is great playing. No slappity slappity nonsense. Just great playing with a really good tone. Great job man!

The only thing missing is the hole worn into the pickup and pickgaurd from thumb wear. Im surprised that you even went as far as to break off the high cut switch on the woofer! Thats pretty exacting. That switch broke off on both my attitude basses and I left it that way. Kind of funny. I really would have done anything to own this bass several years ago. So damn cool.

 

[kringle77]

Can anyone elaborate on some kind of bar or plate that was mentioned earlier, being used to make the neck more stable???? Is it anything like the neck attachment on the attitudes?

 

[Shawn Luckman]

Just WOW

 

[Jaymi]

John's work is simply AMAZING! Having played this at the shop I can tell you it is KILLAH!!!

 

[eastcoasteddie]

wow! that's awesome. that bass is like the equivalent to the EVH's Frankenstrat from 1984...I think he had a quarter smashed into the body of that guitar holding the Floyd Rose in place.
Just awesome!

so many posts, not enough time. just want to say ¡me gusta mucho!

I also like how the strap is a non-adjustable 2"-wide rigging sling. What's the load rating on that one....about 2300lbs? Bass isn't that heavy, is it?

lol

 

[Jaymi]

Nah, look at the wife and look at the strap that Billy put on it....
