The thumbrest is an easy fix.

New pickguard.

But I'd know that forever and ever there are two little screw holes lurking underneath. :analretentiveguytryingtomakeajoke:
 
Talked to a guy that my girlfriend used to work with today. He plays drums in a Band, apparently they are pretty good, although I have no idea what their name is. the point of this story is that I was wearing my Ernie Ball hat, and he asked me if I played EB basses. Of course my first response was, there are other brands of basses, who knew? He then tells me that "my bassist plays two SR5's, one of which is kinda rare, its a discontinued colour called Black Sparkle, you ever heard of it?" Little does he know my sickness...

Send him some of your "EB bass porn".
 
I was pleased to see that's a rosewood board, seems like 99% of the sparkles I see are maple boards.
 
im starting to GAS for another Sterling in Candy Apple Red .... um, i think im addicted.

someone quick, devise a 12 step program. Step 11 CANT be "call jack, get a quote" followed by step 12 "paypal the dude"

Nope, surely you must have meant
