Mods include: .024 - .100 Fender Bass VI strings, a single DiMarzio Virtual Vintage '54 pickup in the neck, CTS pots, Switchcraft jack, paper-in-oil capacitor, cloth wiring, a Faction hardtail Bass VI plate, Gotoh SD91 kluson style split post tuners, Jazz Bass knobs and control plate, and a painted pick guard.
About the only hardware left from the kit is the bridge, the pick guard (painted), the string tree, and two pickups that aren't even wired up, just hole-fillers
It plays and sounds sooo good. I moved the Virtual Vintage '54 from the "bridge" to the neck in her sibling (the white one I made first) and now they are almost like non-identical twins. I can grab either one and they will sound the same. Perfect live back ups for each other, or "change is as good as a holiday" inspirational switch-ups.
Thanks SOOO much for everyone's help.. .especially when I thought I had blown it with the headstock crack/break.
