So it's been a while since I had this bass refinished, but with trips and all I hadn't had the time to take a few pictures until today.
Pat Wilkins did a superb job. His customer service is just fantastic. I ended up going with vintage white. I also asked him to route an access canal for the truss rod. I also got a nice tortoise sheel pickguard from Matt here, and a pair of Lindy Fralin's on TB. I then took all the parts to Gary Fried of Fried Guitars in Brooklyn for rewire, assembly and setup.
And here's the end product. It plays great and looks fantastic as well (at least in my eyes!).
