Finally I got it together. Needed a new bridge and I decided to put a tortoise guard (from Warmoth) on it. I'm not a huge fan of black pickguards on sunburst usually. I love the look. Plays and sounds great upon tweaking it the first time.

Actually the auction didn't do the amount of patina justice. I did clean the hell out of this bass. It had all kinds of dirt & presumably nicotine all over it, judging by the condition of the cleaning rags after I was done. And of course the new pickguard dresses it up nicely.
Very solid bass.
