mike_zimmerman Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 The "humbucker at the neck, single coil at the bridge" arrangement usually looks a bit odd to me, but on this bass it fits--looking forward to watching it come together! Quote

mike_zimmerman Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 Looks great! I love the contrast between the ash headstock/heelcap and the dark woods in the neck, especially. Quote
