How are you getting the pic to post like that? Mine had the whole Imgur borderAnd here I thought it was the counter-clockwise running water when you flush that was the main attraction of the southern hemisphere

Yes it was Michael, though I'm not certain either of those basses would have had trouble.
Just copied the image code.
Are you posting from your phone or PC? Mine was from a PC. I'll try a phone shot later, I think it adds the border.
Since my feet smell and my nose runs I'd probably fit in just fine down under.
This is unbelievably helpful dude, thanks!!!Thanks
Probably easier to post a couple of pictures, The Xuron cutters were the recommendation from Mark who posted a how to way back in this thread somewhere, they turned out to be perfect. It's very easy to do, the pups are epoxied into the plastic covers but it's not a great bond so they just come apart from each other with a little persuasion. The only complication is you have to file a little epoxy from the corners on the pups to get them to fit in the covers but there isplenty of epoxy there so there is no risk to the windings

That Maton article I read earlier- think I posted a link - mentioned passports stating the provenance of all the woods used.
Whether they went on with that I don't know.
Gorgeous. drool Those are two of my favorites in your collection - the "Paisley Park birds". If you don't mind my asking, did you have Marty Bell do the custom paint job on the "Tiger Grape" model on the left? I thought I saw a bird painted like that on his website gallery.
His prices seem quite reasonable (in the event I ever "need" to sate my candy apple orange craving).

First pic is using the "Image Link" option. Second is using the "BBCode" option, which removes the border.

Marty did paint the tiger stripe one, the finish on that bass was just shot so it seemed like a good idea. He's very reasonable and turns the work around quickly enough. I really wanted to have it in a checkerboard kind of like an Ibanez Iceman but he wouldn't do it, saying that it would be too difficult around the center block.

Looks great Andy! What pickup does it have in it? I kind of miss mine, esp. since Todd posted a shot of it on FB lst week.
Thanks Mark! It has a TB+ from an LP Standard bass (humbucker size) under a chrome cover from Phil. Luthier Supply. Sounds killer!
What kind of bridge is that in the gibson?And here I thought it was the counter-clockwise running water when you flush that was the main attraction of the southern hemisphere

They're both Gibson, and both have 3 Point, the one on the right has it's original chrome bridge cover (and pickup cover) in place, they're ridiculously expensive and hard to find - And yes, I play it with them in place

for Marty Bell - if you are considering a re-finish or finish -
Phone, we just moved and can't use the desktop until the internet folks show up this week, I'll post accordingly then
I'm a frequent flyer; three to five times a month. Last week I carried on a bag that I don't usually use that, unbeknownst to me, had a very sharp pair of scissors in it. Not a problem at all. Kind of scary. And yes, I removed them for the return flight.
