No bass solo?

Definitely needs more cowbell.

Welcome Cookie.

The person then sadned it down with very fine sandpaper and spray painted it.

Don't worry.  I cheered it up after with a wipe of furniture polish.

Left - Original damaged bezel.  Centre - Printed bezel as received from Rob.  Right - Bezel after rounding edges and corners then finishing with 2500 wet and dry.

Welcome Matt.

Welcome Hawk.  The SR series Ibbies are good value.  I love the neck on my 605.

Beautiful.

You guys make me want to already introduce the bass

I think we're all looking looking forward to it.  Especially those who, like myself, are familiar with your previous incarnation on Basschat.

it looks like a piece of folded crap to me

Hence the term BBoT (Bent Bit of Tin).  Lot's of folk have looked at these and thought they were cheap and nasty, yet they do the job and have been doing so for decades.
