That's nice man. I'd be staring at it too.
Oh yeah! Noodle away on those babies.
That neck is lovely...that's a special tree.

My current stuff (probably will never get rid of these):
Yamaha RBX374 'Dotty'. Got it 2005, repainted couple of times, changes the neck, now has DiMarzio UltraJazz on bridge and Model J on neck. Volume, tone, on/off for bridge pup.
Jazz bass 'Sea monster' with Fender MIM body, North-West guitars neck, Nordstrand BigSplit on neck and BigSplitMan on bridge. Volume, tone, 3-way pup selector and 3-way front coil/parallel/rear coil selector. Pick guard made out of a wooden cutting board.
Self made body with North-west guitars neck, Delano JMVC 4 FE/M2 pups (rear pair wired as MM, wanted three pups cos looks AWESOME! ). Same electronics as 'Sea monster'
MTD Kingston Artist '01. Delano JMVC 5 FE/M2 on neck, MC 5 FE/M2 on bridge. Volume, tone, 3-way pup selector and 3-way front coil/series/rear coil selector.

I really like that 3 pickup with the body you made and I'm not usually a wood guy. That is very cool. And Dotty just speaks to me, also cool.
Thanks! The three pick up bass was supposed to be J/MM, but i just fell in love how three pickups looked on those old Fender HM basses. Sure, probably doesn't sound like MM pup but....close enough.
What pickup are ya sliding in there? Looks interesting. I like mad scientist stuff.
Single Nordy Zen Blade wired to a P/P Volume pot so I can toggle Series/Parallel.
No tone knob.
Apart from wiring this crazy pot, I'm keepin it simple:
Just got this the other day! LTD Surveyor-414. Needs a good cleaning and it’s missing a the concentric knob, but other than that it’s in great shape. Plays fantastic as well.
LTD Basses are made so well. I'm sure you will enjoy it. I had an LTD Vintage 214 in natural ash. I REALLY regret selling it. I bought it on sale for $250. It was an outstanding instrument. I hope what I bought in its place was worth it.
Edit: Looks like I bought my first (or 4) G&L LB100 after I sold it. So I can't be too upset.
I had one of those once. Very good bass!
Kaunis!!!!
Especially number 3 !!
Thank you! It came out very nice, even i say it myself. The body is made from two 18mm spruce glue boards and top is 5mm birch plywood i got from dumbster at work.
But it sounds awesome! Recorded my bands new album with it.
