I could do a video demo... but the quality will be utterly shit. All I have is a crappy camcorder that I bought for $99 new, so it will be cell phone quality video at best
EDIT: Actually, it would be fun to do a demo with both this bass and my Japanese RI mustang bass, since they sound quite different. I'll look around and see if I can find something decent to record with.

Cool astro
looking forward to it mate, just use whatever's best that you got knocking around, and rock out like a mofo.

I finished sanding and polishing today. I've stuck everything back together, but I didn't bother putting strings on yet, since it needs a new nut. I'm neither skilled enough nor equipped to make a bass nut, so next week I'm taking her to my local luthier to have that done for me.

Thanks for the kind words, folks!
I'm really wishing that whoever stripped the body had also stripped the headstock... because that would have been the perfect excuse for a matching headstock.

Orange looks great with that aged headstock.
