Definitely the prettiest AC I've seen. I'm assuming its a 34" scale, correct?

[Arr MiHardies]

Wow. Gorgeous. I am so very tempted, but I just bought a new bass not long ago.

[khui]

bump......have a great day!

Do you have any sound clips?

[Joebone]

How's the balance when playing on a strap?

sorry...no sound clip...as mentioned earlier, I'm a collector and not a serious musician...all I got is an amp, cable, and some basses...so much for recording a clip...

Its not a neck diver if thats what you're asking......I took it out a couple of times and played it sitting down...I never wore it on a strap...but I do have a strap...when tried it on, it balances nicely...when I leave it hanging on my shoulder, it stays in place...doesn't take a "dive"...hope this helps...thanx.
