Here's mine - Gus G3 active fretless in Midnight Blue Sparkle:

That is the coolest bass I have ever seen. Did it come that way?

The blue sparkle finish is original. However when this bass was originally completed it sported black chrome hardware. There's a photo of it as it was originally in the Gus Guitars Gallery - end of the the 6th row. It was the inspiration for me to order my all-black Gus 5-string. The fretless bass was part of the Gus inventory/demo instruments for a couple of years until I bought it at which time I had the black chrome replaced with the more "conventional" bright chrome hardware.

Custom Blueshawk bass I built using a Gibson Ripper neck.

What really makes the bass unique is the dummy pickup mounted in the back & switching system.

Dummy coils have been used in the past, but I've never seen it used in the manner that I used it in," he said. "It's wired into the circuit in a unique fashion to where it knows to get out of its own way when it's not needed."
"The user doesn't have to worry about turning it on or off; it automatically happens when he selects his pickups normal with the normal three-way pickup selector. When you are in the middle position, for example, the two normal pickups cancel each other out and the dummy coil is automatically inoperative. The pickups are 360 degrees out of phase with each other, which makes them actually in phase but opposite polarity. One pickup is picking up the top side of the sine wave and the other pickup is picking up the bottom half." - the blueshawk says - this is the same principle at work in humbucking pickups.

So what? I don't think you need to apologize. In fact you probably have a handful of people GASin' right now for that beautiful bass!

Fortunately, I don't have to!

I still can't believe how incredibly well that one came out.

1996 made in mexico fender P. This is my project guitar, threw a duncan hot P into it, cloth wired it, replaced the pots, put in a bumblebee capacitor and thought id do something a little different with it, so even though its a P i threw a J bridge cover on it and relic'd some of the finish off. Thing sounds and looks pretty unique imho

G&L blueburst is one of the hottest out there !
