Link Removed this is my baby. i always, always take it out on the road with me. Custom 5 string airJazz, as you can see, I opted for the natural finish on it. I just couldn't bear to cover that grain up with paint.

Yes. Ed has always been one of my inspirations, along with: Shaun Cooper, ex-Straylight Run, now back with Taking Back Sunday, various 4 and 5 string Fender Jazz basses also, Mic Todd from Coheed and Cambria, Spector Rebop and Euros, along with Fender Jazzes more recently Invalid...

Yeah, I was REALLY blown away by the look of that wood grain. I just gave it an alright set up (didn't need much work, TBH), threw some new strings on there, and it plays like a dream. Best $200 I've ever spent on an instrument.

For what it's worth, mine DID come double boxed, and quite well-packed.

It's here! (PS, sorry in advance for large pics) My SX Ursa 2 Ash 5 string arrived a few minutes ago! I'm amazed, I would expect this quality from a bass three times the price. Right out of the box, it sounded great, I tuned it up and plugged it in, and was so happy. I have to admit, I had no...

Funny, for me, a Fender MIA P Bass was my biggest disappointment. Everyone always recommends them to me when I describe the tone I'm after, but I guess I need to do a better job of describing it :p I just wasn't taken with the feel at all, it felt so awkward to me. I didn't spend too much time...

Yeah, I saw that, and provided a phone number, but there were no cases available, and apparently my order is ready to ship. So hopefully that'll work. Fingers crossed! I really want my new bass. I've been going through withdrawals since I had to sell my Spector.

The weird thing is, I am in Canada, but it didn't give me any warnings when I went through without a case. Maybe since I tried to buy the case and it told me there were none available, they didn't flag it. But apparently my order is ready to ship, without a hard case. I'm confused. :confused:

This makes me very, very happy mine is coming by FedEx. I was going to get a hardshell case for it, but, of course, they were sold out of the only ones that fit the Ursa 2, so I chose to risk it. Wish me luck.

Ordering one of these today! So excited! :D Link Removed

I think I've found my solution: Link Removed I'm picking this up in a few days, then going to modify it a bit. So, any pickup suggestions?

Hey all! So, first post here, though I've lurked intermittently. Anyway, I recently had to sell my Spector Legend 5 to make rent money, and I'm in the market for a new bass now that my finances have stabilized somewhat. I LOVED the feel of my Spector, but I found I wasn't ever really ecstatic...
