Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

Looks really nice. Didn't Melissa Breit...[sp] have something similar in a guitar?

Jeff, I believe you are thinking of a Blueburst custom colour from 2010 of Mel's 1975 Model 481. Similar but different.

The black trim looks really nice on the bass. 8)

The burst is a bit different from that on my 700/12 Comstock, but vive la difference!
