I think we got them from the same guy, yes. That said, mine is bubinga and walnut. No mahogany to be found. Walnut neck, wenge board. Body is walnut with bubinga top. Pay no attention to the G-V with Milly pre in the pic. That's the wife.

Glad it’s on it’s way to you!

I have an obsession for wood. The musical kind.
That's right, so yeah, then mine being colored has a hog body (I think). The other is the natural mahogany one, of course. By the way, my bass has the same neck and board as yours.
I notice no logo of any kind on your headstock. ??
Some how I haven't come across this thread before
Better late than never. Welcome! Nice rig. Is the amp and cab factory white or re-covered? I know they did some special orders in white.
There is a GV on Reverb. It is not original in that the body has been repainted and I believe the bridge has been changed. The bridge is black and the tuners are chrome and IIRC these basses came with chrome hardware. The price seems fair but not great considering the modifications and the fact that no case is mentioned. Still...if you just have to have a GV...

That is the stock bridge. Chrome tuners and black ABM bridge with chrome saddles were standard on them. The headstock seems to be missing the string retainer. Paint and knobs are definitely... uhhh... well different.
Factory white. I bought them from the original owner about 11 years ago. He's a guitarist and bought them for his band but they had been relagated to his basement practice space for quite some time and he had borrowed most of the original corner pieces for a project amp & cab. Both still sound great though I've entertained the idea of loading the 215 with BWs.

I am aware that the Deuce is a guitar amp but I like to play my Squier Bass VI through it from time to time

Deuce is a fine amp to play bass through at practice volumes...nice stuff. Looks like I see a Bassman on the back wall as well.
Love it!! I bought an amp like yours (not white) recently. It works but needs some servicing. I need to get off my butt and get it working 100% cause it looks so bad@$$!!
I’m a maple fretboard lover, so those Rics appealed to me. Do you notice a tonal difference from the standard Ric?
Not sure you’re gonna have enough volume there to fill an entire living room but you can swap in a super ferrite pickup and it should be alright.
