similarly to Jack White, i'm not really a "Chappers" fan, but i won't necessarily hold that against a serviceable vee (in the proper color scheme):

Did not got with the pushpulls and crap and wired it like a jazz bass with a 3 way switch, sounds really good, gobs of low end but very even sounding. I think it just took the spot of best guitar I own…

Finish is 3 coast true oil and one coat of polymerized beeswax.
