Haha this wonderful day has finally come!! I'm so excited to see the bass completed, and I've been waiting patiently and Gard has delivered =).
Gard knows this already, but I ended up breaking my clavicle... almost impossibly in a freak accident type of way and had been out of commission from playing the bass for a good 4 to 5 weeks, which made me really sad. I was even sadder from the thought of not being able to play the bass when it comes, but to my surprise, it's healing really well, and a lot sooner than my surgeons told me. =D
Well enough of my personal nonsense, so here are the specs on the bass followed by pics Gard sent over.
SKB 3005 #5714
Exhibition Quilt Maple Top
Swamp Ash Body
Light Amber finish
Aguilar OBP-3 pre (with series/parallel/coil split switch) Edit.. [went back to my email with Jim from Atlanta Bass, and my order was with the S/P/Coil split and not just S/P switch
]
Nordstrand DC5 pups
Pau Ferro Fingerboard
and the standard graphite nut and black hardware!
If some of you might notice, my specs are VERY similar to bass # 5719.
The wait has surely been worth it, and I was actually able to control myself pretty well up till now. But now that these pictures have popped up... oh boy, all I can say is that I can't wait till the bass is in my hands
