So excited that I forgot to upload some pics! 

 

As well as the mute and decals, I also asked Mark if it was possible to supply an extra scratch plate that just covered the control cavity. He  came back with the genius idea of cutting the regular scratch plate so all I have to do is undo a couple of screws and then the bulk of the plate will lift off. Will show what that looks like when it arrives!

About 20 years ago I almost bought a shell pink P with something like a 68p body and 69 maple J neck (can't remember the exact years) and I've had a longing for it ever since, so that was the inspiration for this (with a few added extras). I asked for the neck to be slightly more aged than the body and it looks fantastic!

This is my Jazz! 

 

I asked for a few differences with mine: 

Fender Hi-Mass Bridge

Hipshot Ultralite Tuners

Master Volume / Pickup Blend / Master Tone wiring

 

It plays great, sounds great, resonates nicely, and balances perfectly. Also I think it looks rather cool too.

Lovely stuff, have to love a pink P bass - it looks great with the anodized guard too. Did you go with a chunkier 50s neck?

I went with a jazz neck, only because I have a couple of P’s with chunky necks and jazz necks with rolled edges feel really comfy for me.

You're not wrong, mine is a J neck too and it's lovely. Enjoy your new toy, it looks great and I'm sure it plays even better!
