Yeah, but this is my own build. I already have it priced out (around $500) and ready to order parts. This is what's going in:

- Warmoth J-Bass body, swamp ash
- Allparts JMO J-Bass neck
- Gotoh 201 Bridge
- Hipshot HB2 machines with a BT2 Bass Extender
- MM HB bass pickup (brand yet to be determined, but I might start with GFS Alnico) with series/parallel/split switch and passive volume + dual-action tone
- Side jack in an Electrosocket

No pickguard, natural nitro over TruOil on body and neck (perhaps only TruOil on neck with nitro headstock). Nice, simple, elegant. If I decide it needs to be active, there's plenty of room in the rear control cavity.
