Ah, yeah!! I've been anxiously awaiting this bad boy. I knew the top would be incredible, but what had me more excited was... the black hardware!  As soon as Gard let me know that they were going to allow that on the Standard models, I ordered two right away. This is the first one to arrive, and it was definitely worth the wait!

As freakishly amazing as this looks, somehow I just know it sounds even better. Great job on the specs, Greg! And you know, as much as I love matching headstocks, this bass looks better without. This one is absolutely badass...a Roscoe with serious attitude, ready to groove hard while taking no prisoners.
I hereby order my wife to play the lottery numbers harder this weekend. |

If it's 34 scale and 19mm string spacing, I'd have to figure out how to get it.

By far the best looking Standard Plus that I've seen! I bet that it just kills with the JJ P/U configuration. |

| True, that. And it contrasts perfectly against the fingerboard and tuners. |
