Yeah looks nice, I’m guessing someone has made the truss rod easier to access by increasing the cutout, I messaged him a while back about his 71 jazz with black blocks 🙂
I’ve been joking, I do venture there sometimes as I like playing the whole fretboard, but not very often, the music I play doesn’t normally go above the 7th-9th
A friend of mine dragged me along to a couple of pink Floyd concerts when I was about 16, I’d only been playing bass for around a year, I enjoyed it but wish I’d paid more attention as I didn’t really appreciate just how good they were
