Congrats.

That's a guitar? Looks more like a bass to me!

Yeah, I've read the discussions on terminology, and to me... it is part of the guitar family. But if everyone else wants to pretend that I said electric bass instead, that is fine with me.
Heck, classify it as a 5-String Fretless Chordophone for all I care!
That'll do it! 
Nice looking body (the bass, not yours). My MB-2 4-string should arrive within 3 weeks. I'll post the pic(s) if I can figure out how to do it. So far I've had no luck posting the preliminary photos he sent me via e-mail.

And there's some bias setting for the electronics that you can access through the back that I don't ever plan on messing with. See Rob Allen's site for more info.
That's all I can think of.
