I think this is the guy that posted a mockup of a Benson combo amp built into a sort of mid-century console table, with a slot-in guitar stand/holder to one side. Looked the coolest.
Have a picture of that?!
Yup. It is the same guy. Some great designs on his IG.

Instagram/Facebook are making it tricky to link to the actual photo, but here's a link to the post that contains it.
That is VERY cool. Classy as fuck!

They look great.

Is this a shortscale bass with a thunderbird pickup? If so, it's right up my street! It would look great with my other basses:

Thanks...you're close! It's a 32" Medium Scale Conversion Neck on a full-size P-type body with a Fralin Big Single pickup on a height-adjustable P90 baseplate. ;)

Nice basses, by the way!
