Well it's bedtime and here's a short true story about my last couple of weeks revolving around my nocturnal activities:

A few week ago I woke up in the middle of the night with a wet patch on the sheets, I was ....ing mortified! Then about a 2 weeks ago it happened again, I was so upset and embarrassed, last week it happened 3 times, I was beside myself, I went to the doctor to get checked out. I got prodded, poked and rubber glove clad fingers stuck places where the sun never shines, I had blood tests the lot from a smirking doctor. It has been a hell of a few weeks honestly, anyway I started wearing a pair on knickers to bed in the hope that they would get wet before the sheets and wake me up as I haven't felt anything during one of these events. The other morning about 4am I woke up with a wet bum but the rest of me was dry, what??? It turns out we have a waterbed and the fvcking thing had sprung a slow leak so when I lay with my bum towards the edge it pushed down and the mattress cover dipped into the rising water trapped between the water mattress and the dam. We have the new one being delivered tomorrow :roflmao:

Night all :)

I fancy doing the text in a very dark shell just enough to give in brand identity on closer inspection but not enough to jump out and catch your eye. I'm getting out voted though :roflmao:

It's your build. Even though you have asked for our opinions..................
We'll just drive you nuts.

I've enjoyed having the opportunity to offer my input, no matter how (in)significant, and whether it is implemented or not. YOU are the artist, and your creation should bear your mark:cool::thumbsup:
 
I really appreciate the kind words and I'm glad you're cool with me only having a LPB even though the last one I got comes about as close as you can get to a thunderbird without actually being one other than the Gibson IV and V.
Here it is. Nice seller threw in a hard case too.
Gibson Les Paul Bass tv yellow | Cleanin the Closet

and as for Christine's head stock, I would vote for 4.

Love the TV Yellow bass. Reminds me of an LP Jr with P-90's.
 
Yeah, I dig P necks as well. Jaco's fretted Jazz bass sported a P neck.
The issue I have with P necks is the road-kill flatness of them. My favorite bass guitar neck, so far, is the monster on my bolt-on 'Bird. It's 1-3/5" wide at the nut and round like it should be. The only thing better would be a V shaped neck like the back of a real '56 or so Precision. The chances I'll ever have one of those is about zero.
