She looks great, love the wood grain! What will you do with the screw holes, just leave them?????

Yeah, just leave 'em. Can't see them from more than five or six feet, anyway.
I got very lucky - a friend heard I was looking for these parts and happened to have them! He's a big restoration guy himself, and was just incredibly helpful.
The bass sat for a week or two without strings until I wired it up last night. That was a mistake, and I know better. So she's still adjusting to the tension (plus, I went for the BEAD configuration I often use on MM basses). By tonight, it should be all settled in and I can do the full setup and get her playing properly.

Looks great Tris, there's nothing better than returning a lightweight MM to original. I'm a huge fan of HH MusicMan basses but those pics are making me miss my old ash 89 2 band single H! I never should have sold that one.
