Welcome @Madein1962... Be careful...statements like this will get you in trouble. We all know that there's no such thing!!

Welcome @bassnumpty... Good choice in the Lakland Skyline - there are a couple of nice ones on eBay currently. You could also check out the Marketplace here but that can lead to all sorts of problems with the Bank manager/wife.

As you can see on my Silk Bass I've had a pair fitted. My attitude was that it's a keeper, I have no plans to sell it so I'm going to have the best pick ups I can find. Money well spent in my mind.

Check how @Andyjr1515 executed the carve on my Silk Bass.

Personally I'd have more of the core wood showing on the top shape. Probably take it round to the same height as the rear, so almost the bottom of the mid-bout. Re: The logo - not going to help much - I like both the first and third.

I like the look of the Babicz bridges...

Don't need Joe Lycett to tell us...I think between us we've had enough bad experiences with MyHermes to write a book. My last experience with them included them not turning up to collect and lying about accessibility. Ironically my local MyHermes agent is lovely, I feel sorry for her knowing that she will inevitably be the brunt of somebody's animosity as a result of another MyHermes employee's incompetence.

My ding-a-ling - Chuck Berry

Suggestion: Here's a starting point for your headstock shape.

A bass line that was a classic when it was first played and that stands the test of time...

If Paradise was half as nice - Amen Corner

Bad medicine - Bon Jovi

Sugar and Spice and all things nice - The Searchers

Am I having Deja Vu???

When I read this I thought "The US President makes/sells PUs??" Then I realised.. Nice bass BTW...
