It's seriously cool. One of those "Man, I wish I would have thought of that...or just had that." ones. I shouldn't think that, I'm blessed, but man...

After owning almost a dozen other basses in the past few years to see what worked best for me tonally & what I’d bond with comfort-wise for the long term, I’ve finally settled on these 5. Now I can hopefully take a long rest from G.A.S.

Nice! I don't know which he is, but whatever he does is on the low low.So would he be considered a pickup expert, or a chick magnet?

Here is my latest addition. A hand-crafted custom bass with a floating top.
Unfotunately, when i went to string it with LaBella flats all i had left was a 5-string set and 2 short scale sets.
So i need to get strings before i can string it and set it up.

Fixed up this one, which lay apart for quite a while.
Yeah, this started out as a guitar, one of my earliest self-made bodies actually. It has no frets, a 25.5 scale length, the bridge from either an old Guild or an old Hagstrom and from today on; a DiMarzio Air Norton blade humbucker, which sounds really good.
This thing is a heap of fun, I can do Jaco type of harmonics and slides without dislocating my fingers on this.
