Bruce ? Preds and Raiders ? It's not easy being a Raider fan these days .

Raiders fan since somewhere around '73 or so. Glutton for punishment and oh so happy when the rare win comes along.

Is this the politically correct way to say beat up?

I like the look of that, good work!

I'll have a 3001 one day

Yep ... beat up ... I got it with a bunch of dings, exposed wood, ground down frets, and numbers carved into it. So it is a good bass to modify.

beat up = worth less
reliced = worth more

I love it (although perhaps I'd have made the headstock plain black, but that's just my pref). I'm one of those who've never like the shape of the 3001 body, but you've managed to make it look well tasty.

And the bridge? It looks fine - and no doubt can be adjusted without resort to anger management classes.

That is an interesting quote ...
