"Mark Walker's bass, kind of has a sister bass now."

HA! Definitely the Yin to my Yang, (or vice-versa... not sure which is which.)



REALLY nice painting, Corey. Love how you used the clear PG's to optimize your canvas area. How did you address the neck PU cavity? I ran a plastic tube through the routing holes to run the wire though, then filed the top with some kind of wood putty. (It's been awhile since I did mine - can't recall some details.)

I once had the fleeting thought to change my TRC to "Rikkenbacker"

Thanks for all of the compliments! This was an interesting one to get going.
I have to admit that the other jobs I'm doing have kept me from the final bit of wiring, and finally firing this little girl up...though I have gotten some insight into what a transition 4003 bass neck does under tension, and how the old-style truss rods settle in.
The strings are Thomastik-Infeld Jazz Flats, by the way. Lord Bongo's favorite strings, and an excellent choice for the pickup combination.

absolutely stunning, good job!

If only McCartney had gotten something like this from The Fool - instead of the hack job he did himself....

Great work
