Thanks! It's based on Berry Oakley's Tractor Bass, which was a modded Jazz. His was wired stereo, but mine is strictly mono, so it goes like this:
Thanks, that is awesome. I might have to experiment with that sometime.

The tort is from a Jazz that had a pup cover and a finger pull, I can bring myself to put any more holes in the beautiful body.
This is what real tort looks like:

XL!That looks like an older Hartke 4-10 cab. XL or TP series? I worked for Hartke and built my share of these cabs. I may have built this one.
Thanks Ken, the pups are great! I have a build thread as well, but I didn't know how to tag members properly (stupidly easy) in it. The body had sheilding paint, but I added a bit of copper to the cavities for ground connections, a lip to the pickguard foil, and control plate, it is one of the quietest J-basses (hum-wise) I've ever played.
