I finally got my new catalog today, and that was one of the first things I noticed. The "reverse" (White body w/black 'guard, black blocks & h'ware) Geddy Lee bass in the catalog is lookin' damn fine, too.

^ Yeah - I got mine too ..... crap - now I have GAS again!

I sure like the Bromberg or LB, and with so many options - how do you choose (?).

Does anyone else feel that they didn't adjust the route size for the blocks from their guitar neck specs? They just don't look wide enough to me.

They look just fine to me. Although I do imagine they use the same size inlay on a 4-string as they do on a 5/6-string bass.

I think they look small too....

Yep. That was my first thought as well.

A few folks have mentioned they look small.
