I just put a rather fine Warmoth neck on mine

I quite like the look of that tele bass, but the BSB on the guitar doesn't look right at all with the pine grain showing. I like the white better.
Not that it matters for $300 though.

I think there is just enough room for for a mudbucker between the pickup and neck..... someone should get on that

lol

I like the bass and its massive pickguard. I gotta say that trans finish isn't really doing it for me though

There's also a blue metallic finish available. Might be one of those old custom colors, but it looks disappointingly non-vintage to me, especially for that setup.

So what I'm pretty sure he's not the only famous person who used one.

know who else uses 50's style p's

^true but if you're playing a black strat no ones gonna think "oh look, a blackmore fan"

touche good sir

If I'm not mistaken doesn't Mike Watt play a bass like this as well?

I think he mostly uses sg basses and the split coil style p basses

But he has played these though right, if I recall he played them in the Minutemen and Firehose as well as his first solo album Ball Hog or Tugboat.

There ya go.

Yup, he played one when I saw them live too. And also, THE SWORD RULES.

The metalhead in me has to say that whenever that band is mentioned. They're the only band I own not just one, but two shirts with their name on it.
