Another fantastic job! I only noticed the other day that the gray on the upper horn matches Paul's SP outfit 8)
I thought Paul's SP uniform was blue.

It is blue, but in a pic I saw the other day, and of course can't located it now, the colours matched quite well. Not the same colour but matched.

I'm tracking with you now. It's out for delivery now. Unfortunately it is very cold here. I'm sure it will have to sit for a while before I open it up. Torture I tell ya!

I am hoping Paul chimes in a describes the process in converting this 4001C64 to the MMT bass. I don't really know how he duplicted the "art".

That what I was assuming, Paul. But I didn't want to speak for you. By the way the bass is here but it is pretty cold here so I will be waiting a while to open it up. This is killing me!!!

Yeah, I seldom change my photobucket folders because of this, but it is MUCH quicker to link to photobucket, and the photos have more impact, too, in the narrative sense.
