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. Well, here are a couple of shots with the bridge, knobs and pickups just laid out:
