Freakin' wow.

I'm just starting to play my Killer B 6 pretty regularly at rehearsals,so I may make it my main bass for this project. So that one is kind of a Signature with a bolt on neck?

I'm pretty sure about the 16mm thing as I just had a set of calipers on it. But now that you have sullied my mind (thanks for that, Captain Camembert ) with doubt, I'll go back and check it again.
