I take it all back!!!
 
The story of the mistakenly drilled location for the pickup selector and the inlay done by Brian Smith, makes this modification acceptable to me.
 
If I'd known this story while it was still for sale at Bassnw, things would have turned out different.

I'd love to see a thread on mistakes and how they were 'rectified'. It all gives the instruments so much character. I have one that has a wood inlay surrounding the brass sustain block for some reason.

Awesome reunion Will .:.).

I'm just now reading this thread.  Great story, and great bass!
