I like the throwback to the elongated John 5 headstocks, always had a soft spot for them!

I always thought the Meteora shape would look nice as a bass.

Aside from the offset butt, it's pretty much a 51 Precision bass, so that makes sense! Looks awesome Patrick (I originally wrote Ben but realised that was the soundtrack / noise composer!).
