I bought a mohogany P-Bass body and a mohogany neck with an ebony fretboard. It came unfinished and cost about $320 for the two pieces together. The body is rear-routed. The neck has a truss rod accessable from the head and a couple of graphite bars inside to help keep it straight. I had USACG put in Jumbo frets and mother-of-pearl dot inlays.
Both pieces are beautiful. I used tung oil to finish the body and a urethane for the neck.

I put in Basslines quarter-pounders by Seymore Duncan. With the Mohogany body it is the best sounding bass I have ever played. Other basses I have owned are a Cort Curbow, A '76 Fender P-Bass, and a five String Fender Jazz bass. This puts all three to shape. I have not found a fret with any buzz yet. Unbelievable!!
Action, Fit, & Finish

This was done by Almost Music in Daytona. I used a Badass Bridge and the bass is SO EASY to play. I am going to leave this category blank, though, since USACG did not do this work.

I plan to use this bass for a very, very long time. I doubt that I will ever need any other bass again.

Tommy is the customer service guy at USACG. He is great. He was very helpful through every aspect of getting this bass made. He even offered many suggestions on how to save money. I am very happy with the Customer support from this company.
