The strings are set super low to the neck, the neck's thickness front to back is super thin! much like my former Forte 5 or even thinner, I'll take neck measurements when I go put the GHS Precision Flats custom's on and send the measurements to Patrick. Very fast neck! It's an oiled neck. This Coda 5 Deluxe definitely says "High Quality" big time!!! Enjoy the photos!

Congrats! She is gorgeous!

you just need to time the purchase and then BAM! drop the down payment and it becomes an "expense"

well. we are trying to sell our house in kansas and then going to buy one in oklahoma. dont have enough equity to do a swing loan so we have to ride this one out. after the one in kansas gets sold, whatever is left is going toward the one in oklahoma. so theres no room for me to play right now. also adding i just got an amp. which i really needed. but you never know, maybe next year i'll find someone on here who wants to get rid of a euro and i'll score a nice one ive been wanting. you're right. timing is the essence. so maybe next year, i'll get essenced

I tell my wife "I'm thinking about buying a motorcycle....or a new bass, I can't decide." Then I get a bass and she's ok with it.

lol. yeah. i always seem to get stuff before her and i feel bad about it. and she cant seem to get the concept of a GOOD bass costing over $1000. plus we have 5 kids to take care of, so i feel a little guilty about that.

I remember that Ric weighed around 16 lbs. I still carry the pain in my shoulder from that bass, & I still carry the shame in my heart from those pants.....
