Sweet bass. I love the metallic orange w/ matching head stock. Usually I'm not a fan of pearl pickguards but it really works on that bass.

Greg at rocket music was cool enough to get me a progress pic of my V4. I asked for a little deeper version of surf green, closer to seafoam and Paul at the shop was able to get it done for me. really happy with the color!

That's a great color!
Could you please share you experience regarding this build: how much time passed since the build was started so that you was able to request such a pic? I'm thinking when should I send my request to Greg and Paul somewhere in the future
(my build is just started).
Hey Vates,
Just email Paul and say: hey I'm really excited about this bass and if it's not too much trouble in the future, could I see some progress pics? Realize they are very busy, though.

Pauliebass has good advice for you vates. I placed the order with
Greg on it around 12/17, so it's been a little under 8 weeks at this point. I was expecting closer to mid march for completion and I'm hearing two weeks now so they're ahead of schedule.

Hey guys -- Can I join? I love trans-red and bought this almost instantly after finding it on the bay.

Great looking bass. You should order a black guard for it to change it up from time to time.

Wow that looks awesome. I echo the black guard...those look great on trans red

Nice basses, too!
Are any of those passive, Jerry? I'm jonesing hard for a passive J now. I might temporarily convert my trans black M5V to passive, just to see if I dig it...

With the pull of a knob, they're all passive. FWIW, during a handful of on-the-gig experiments, I've not once found that I enjoy the passive tone over the active tone.

You should try a Glockenklang pre-amp sometime(just to add to your mod craziness...).
If you get one with a treble knob that's not stacked, in passive mode(volume push/pull) it works as a tone control.
