Is this a custom job? What kind of pickups are those? And where on earth did you find that neck? Beautiful.

Hey Nat...the body is MIM that I stripped down to the bare wood using heat.Forget that sandpapper,stripper or even a heat gun...I used the "Webber Method".Don't try this at home :scowl:

The neck is a Warmoth that was an Ebay snag..the tuner holes were all boogered up.looked like the guy used C4 to drill out the holes...got it cheap because of that.I repaired the holes and installed some wide vintage MIJ tuners that covered the repair from the back,and the front was painted so you can't even tell what it looked like before.The neck is all Rosewood BTW.

The pickups are wound by Curtis Novak...my favorite builder and the covers came from Warmoth.CTS pots with vintage pushback wire and an .047 paper in oil cap.

The amp was built from a destroyed bassman 100(Thanks UPS)I built a new cab and seperated the head.It used to be a combo.It was painted ReRanch Coral as well.So I guess you could say that it is a custom job.Thanks for asking.

Sorry for the long post....Cheers.

Is there a thread somewhere about your fire treatment? I'd love to read it.

I wish they had that soundgear from earlier as a higher end model with a maple board...

Any ideas on a finish I could do in orange, automotive paint?
