To post more than one pic per post, just set the links one after each one, like making a sentence.

Great looking bass!

My only suggestion..I'd take those high gauge strings off, and put on some .45's, maybe even lighter gauged, like .40-100. It would just be safer. That bass is worth the effort. Congrats!

Thanks WildintheStreets, I don't have a lot of experience with a Bass (self taught, about 3 years playing), sounds like your suggesting too much stress on the instrument? I'm playing country through a Ampeg BA115, I'm setting it on #1 on the effects so I have this really deep bass sound, sounds almost like an upright. We play in a room about 50'x60' with about 60 people in it. I've got the knobs on the Bass at their wide open position except for the volume, it's about half way. The amp master volume is about 3 and a half, everything else on the amp is at max. These are flat wounds D'Addario 50-105 and they are sweet to play, with the smaller gauge will it have a less Bass sound? I'll do anything to protect the bass, I don't want to mess it up.
