You forgot "looks awsome". It does!
Very nice! I sometimes wish I had gone with a MM in the bridge on my Jazz V.
Thanks! Finally got to gig with it last week and it sounds as good as it looks.
Yea I nearly went with a basic Jazz bass but I've always wanted a MM/J combination, with parallel/single/series switching.
Me likey
That is a one piece Poplar body finished in Blonde Shellac and Minwax wipe-on . My preferred finish these days

[/URLReally great job on this one...I bet the tone is just as good as it looks.
Thanks ! It's a killer bass , probably the first one I grab going out . I did however just get a stunning Warhead neck in flame & Rosewood from Wyliee and I'm gonna slap that on later for fun .
Here is one for you Warmoth buddies... I need a case for my Dinky P... Anyone recommend one? Can't use the SKB-44 standard case, but the body area is just way to big.
I think the back plate is included. I'm sure it's on the site somewhere. I haven't built one that's rear routed to be sure though.
