I just completed another one but this time with a Music Man neck and a Roland Pickup. It's a G4 ,  I had to touchup the neck pocket to fit that neck. This one is even lighter than the other one , it's 8 pounds !

Hi , First post here .... The concept is a piezo only bass , no mag pickup , to be used with Roland's V-Bass. It can also be used "Stand alone" with the 1/4 out jack , in case of emergencies....  :help: I wanted to put a 45° out GK plug to avoid rippin it apart , those cable/plugs being very...
