Just ordered from Sweetwater. This is my first major bass purchase, and a big step up from the bass I currently have. I am really psyched!
The pictures are the ones of the bass I am getting. Don't have it in my hands yet, but am too excited not to share it.

U will love the funkiness of the 70s bridge pickup being closer and the ash/maple board. My favorite bass and main gigger...good choice dude |

I would highly recommend a set of DR Black Beauties when you get her....mine looks (and plays) stunning with them on!!

Sounds great! I installed the mutes and am really digging the tone! Playing through a Sadowsky preamp through an ampeg micro vr. What a step up from my MIM!

Last night, I played my 75'RI through my Alembic/fEARful rig - great tone; great feel; great bass!
Congrats, again, bmb73! |

I was lucky enough to find a clean used one a month ago, so I am a happy camper!!!!  It is indeed a great instrument.
Yes, congratulations, bmb73!
