I put the bass together from parts that I had acquired over the years, it originally had a green jazz bass body. It was broken at a gig so I had a friend make a new body for it, it's based off the body of the Fender VI. I purchased the Spalted Maple off Ebay. I also swapped the EMG pre amp for a John East Music Man Stingray Retro pre amp. The pickups are Bartolini wired in parallel, the neck came from Allparts. I must say it's not a bad looking bass.
