The addition of the PG totally changed the look of that bass...it looks amazing! Can't wait to see the toaster in there.

Very nice Jeff. Do you use the tug or is that for the retro look?

That looks so much better than the standard. Ignorant as I may be as to the vagaries of vintage garb, what you have now looks like it grew there, compared with the not-so-organic look of the present guard and pickup placement. There's that talismanic tug bar too. I used to jeer at those things 35 years ago; they looked old-fashioned even then, but they're starting to appeal to me now, as an object of contemplation. Could I buy one with a scorpion inside it? :lol:

Cool, Jeff, now I know what to look for. :)
All I wanna do is rock!
