Hi all. I finished this bass about 6 months ago, but haven't had a chance to post pics until now. When I was planning this project, I got a lot of inspiration from this board, so I'm happy to finally be part of it. I was thrilled with how this bass looks and sounds. Enjoy the pics.
A couple of notes about this bass: pickups are Bartolini, bridge is the TK-5 (sold by Warmoth). Swamp ash body is finished in tobacco sunburst, neck is vintage tint. I ordered a standard ebony fretboard and was pleasantly surprised at how black it is (absolutely no streaks). Also, I ordered a standard birdseye neck (not AAA) and was psyched with how figured it is.
I just ordered the makings for a mahogany/maple Thinline Tele, so look for pictures of that one in about four months. Rock on!
