MIM Fender P with '73 P pickup & bridge & Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound J pickup. Also, added pickup selector switch & body has no finish - just covered it with clear boot polish (makes bass incredibly light & u really hear the tone of the wood great on this one).

Original owner did horrible job routing bridge pickup, so my tech cut a sort of pickguard from some tortoise material to match regular pickguard & cover ugly hole left by original route.
 
This one started its existence as a
"Bud Light True Music" logo body. Had it done in a rarely seen ( on a fender P )
Silverburst with added band logo. When the band goes sour, as all eventually do, it will become a piece of art that I'll keep forever. Built it mostly just for grins anyway.

Here is my crappy $60 pawn shop hohner. Neck was cracked and warped so I pulled off the board, straitened it and epoxied it back on. My daughter did the mod podge camo today. Still a crappy bass but I don't have to baby it like I baby my lakland JImageUploadedByTalkBass.com1362187534.368002.jpg
 
Here are two of my Amazing Wilkins PJ's. The sunburst is my current and favorite bass. The black one is a very special bass that I recently let go when I decided I needed to thin the herd. I've loved P/J's since the first one I had way back in the 70's, of course it couldn't hold a candle to the 5 Wilkins P/J's I've played since '98.
