Nice grain :thumbsup: G-flat looks like it was visited often... what's up with the first fret? Or is it just some sort of distortion in the pic.
I just realized that’s a Pittman neck I posted I meant to post a pick of my Pittman bass not that but it’s missing the nut and so you see the space. Also its been “rolled “ on the finger board and given a “broken in” feel. I believe that is a tele neck though I’ll have to ask Paul or Bruce may know. If y’all are lurking :D

You can see from that pic alone the instrument is perfect. :D
Almost NASA tolerance dialed in. Pole alignments ( good ‘ole SJB’s) neck width, string spacing etc etc it’s tight .

That's very cool - like having a Philip Kubicki Jazz bass - you know it will be top-notch! I'm a big fan of Seymour Duncan - makes great pu's!

That's a killer combo! :bassist: For all those who are skeptical about Spitfire tort - they are 3D which sets them apart from even the original 60's vintage tort pg's. I'd love to see this one in person - love how dark and rich it is with burning embers of colour! :thumbsup: Mark is getting better with every pg he does!

bwahahaha I'm such an idiot, I thought the spitfire was the pickup or something which is why I was asking about what the result was....

2019, off to a roaring start...
 
I went with the DIY $18.00, ships from Asia in 2-4weeks, Tort Pickguard material. Someday I'll figure out how to put a nice 45 degree bevel on my pickguards.

It's not that difficult really - just takes some patience and a sharp Exacto blade. You can even make your own simple device to hold a blade at that angle to shave it. I've done a few and they come out great.
