It already has Elliott pickups. Hotter one at the bridge weaker one at the neck. ;)

Well, maybe do what Bob actually did back then? Eliminate the toggle switch,
and install 2 VOLS and a TONE, or maybe even 2V + 2T, but then you'll need
the toggle switch again. That's actually what's on my '72-...with Humbuckers of course! :mrgreen:

Done! So this ends the chronicle of how to build a Mosrite bass clone from scratch.

I don't have a clue what the line is through the middle of the body on the center bottom photo, or the line through headstock. They both look like a seem in the photo, but are not.

Danny: That looks great! I don't know how you do it (even after showing us all how you did it).

Incredible! Well done Danny. So when do the guitars get their "Ellison" logos, and when are publishing a catalog and taking orders? :)

Wow - that looks amazing! Can't wait to hear how that sounds!

So why didn't I get ANY of your craftsman's skills??? I guess since I am still learning to play there is a chance that I could learn some of that too!

Super job! That bass is a work of art .... Did you use a nitro finish on this one?
