I've been anxiously awaiting this post - thank you for being a man of your word and congrats on the new BN5! And yes, this is PERFECT! Was that Alphaman's by any chance? If so, I got my 635-24 from him... I hope to shoot a similar pics with a BN6 of my own sometime.

And that 535 looks familiar. By any chance is that a primavera body?

Dang--you guys know all about me!

Yup. The 535 was yours, then it belonged to BigRedSix, and now to me.

Very interesting comparison, which also qualifies you for club membership!

This roster update welcomes Ewo and his new BN5 to our band of merry men (and woman).

[Laughing!] I thought you were talking about Tom Bowlus!

Despite having some nice basses, I find I still play my BN6 the most. However, if it were lighter, and had piezos, and that AC look, that could change. :-)

[Dave Hill]

I really like the MTD and BN designs. Gotta give props to luthiers who execute original ideas so successfully. I always thought the BN made a traditional jazz look downright tubby (even a 4-string):

What a beautiful top...

On another note.....There seems to be a dearth of VF love in this thread. I will have to remedy this sometime soon (I hope).
