    This bass is being built for Drew Felder (aka Fretless5verfan). Here are the Specs:

    -5 string (tuned EADGC)
    -J-style Alder Body
    -Solid black finish on back of neck and face of headstock
    -Unlined Ebony fingerboard
    -Nordstrand Fat Stack Pickups w/Coil taps
    -Aggie 3-band pre-amp
    -DR-Lo-rider nickel strings
    -Low action set-up.
    -Contoured Heel Joint
    -Black Hardware
    -HipShot UltraLite Gears
    -Hipshot A Style Bridge

    I just received the neck and body today and I'm very excited. This bass has a lot of 1st for me. 1st fretless, 1st bass with new decals, 1st bass with totally finished neck (matching the body), 1st bass w/Fat Stacks, 1st bass built in new shop. :bassist: Well, here are a couple of shots with the bridge, knobs and pickups just laid out:
