New Bitsa Bass Day: Fender Boxer(ish)

So I always wanted the Duff McKagan style fender PJ: solid colour body, no pickguard, black painted neck and headstock. They don't do them left handed. I've also always fancied assembling a bass so I set to. I've got a thread in the build diaries about this as it was my first serious attempt. While the result is pleasing it has taken months, been expensive, still needs some improvement, isn't what I set out to make, and probably cost more than a Sire PJ. Still, I think she looks alright and sound pretty nice, though a pup upgrade can't come soon enough. Here she is and a screenshot of a Boxer for comparison. The neck is genuine a Fender P MIM before anyone raises the issue of sticking on labels... 

The parts are:

Ash body, rear routed from Guitarandbassbuilds.com 

Wilkinson Bridge and tuners 

Kiogon loom

Alan Entwistle pups... For now

Fender MIM P bass neck

Various bits from Northwest Guitars (neck plate, strap buttons, knobs, etc)
