Great choice of color and Dale sure does good work on those 4001's. I almost gave up on finding an AZ and was going to get a refin until I found this transition 73 made in May. It's not as purty as a refin but i guess it'll have to do.

Already in the works...It's going to be hard but I think I can convince her! :wink:

Hey Dave, I won't have to "Photoshop" those in as all those goodies will be present when it is complete.
...well all except for the vintage tailpiece...unless you might want to get rid of that one :?: :idea: :idea: :idea:

And my Grovers are wavy...remember the brand new set Marc Seligman had at MARF II?

That's a fantastic looking bass! Kudos to Dale for doing some great work...those inlays are the best. There is a romance to those that the other ones will never have. I want the factory to go back to those SOOOOO badly.

Fantastic work Dale. One would think that by this time, I wouldn't be so surprised (pleasantly) at what comes out of the hands of skilled craftsmen, but I confess that I am...every time. Steve, I can imagine how excited and fortunate you feel. Gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous!

Darren's is a 72 with new pickups. Mine is a Dec 73 with 73 pickups. My Aug 73 MG sounds great!
