Edit: here's a demo I finally got recorded!

So I ordered this bass over a year ago, sometime in November of 2011, and it finally came in last monday. I'm a little late, but I didn't want to start the thread 'till I had some good pics.
I will say this. Chris Stambaugh (
Stambaugh Designs) is a madman. I'm not sure if there's anything he won't build. From 8-string acoustics, to 11 string basses, he just won't say no. If there's a problem, he works through it. And his prices are ridiculously low. Take your best guess for what an instrument like this should cost, and divide it by at least two. He even surprised me with a few extra things on here I didn't even ask for.
Specs:

It weighs about twenty or so pounds, but it's really not that bad if I'm actually playing and not just standing there holding it. The long scale took no getting used to, and I don't even notice the fanned frets. It just feels natural. Though the neck is monstrously wide, It's not that hard for me to get around on. I can comfortably play all the strings up to the tenth fret, then it starts to taper off about one string every four or so frets. The shape of the neck is pretty comfortable, a sort of widened "C" shape.
The only problem I really have is neck dive. When I'm sitting, I can even up the weight by pressing down with my right arm on the body and pseudo-supporting it with my left hand. Standing is another story, and after an hour or so of playing my left hand and shoulder start to feel it, but I can't say I'm surprised by that.
I'll get soundclips up on this thread one day whenever my classes have settled down.
I'll go over every single detail and ramble a lot and maybe even play it some! 
Thanks for considering my special request.
