I took this pic for a 4 vs 5 thread, but it didn't fit the context.
This thread don't need no stinkin' context!!

Just took delivery of a remarkable instrument from Kelvin Daly and am over the moon (photos are from Kelvin's shop when he was voicing the bass, so the knobs weren't on yet)! The looks of the instrument are one thing, but the feel is like an extension of your own body, completely tailored to fit. I've not ever played anything close. Balance is perfect, neck profile fits the hand, the whole instrument feels completely organic. No fight in it at all. Some instrument!

I got the family together for a group photo:
4003 Candy Purple, 4005xc, 4030, 3000, 4003FL (fretless)

. I love the 3000.
My 3000 was destroyed in a flood 17 years ago. All I have left of it is the neck and tuning keys. The body was a total loss. I made a shrunk down 4000 body for it. it's cute but it's not the same. I have tried to get a body for it through Rickenbacker but to no avail. 
. Anyway, that's a beautiful collection of Ricks.

Got this a bit ago and it needed a setup so I forgot to do a NBD on it.
Very nice! Your instrument's new tribal bass name is, 'Storm Front'.
Sweet, it'll be right there next to my uncle's name for it, "Green Lava".

Lovely family. Fender jazz is my favourite. Looks stunning!
What a wild looking bass! The matched cover on the back is brilliant. How was the green applied and can you feel it?
I believe the green is resin that the builder (Tom Martinson) filled in the natural cracks of the slab of walnut that he used for the top, but I'm not 100% sure that's correct. Might have to ask Tom how he does it, he sells the basses on his Facebook. Would recommend a look, he makes some really amazing looking basses. I know he has some middling reviews here on TB, but this one I got from him is pretty great. It's sanded smooth with a semi-satin finish so you can't feel it at all.
