Man! I can see why you’re excited. Even the support jigs look well constructed.

Looks like you made a good and well considered choice.

Please refer to my avatar. Really, what more could you want?

The Butt Print Sunburst finish is worth the price alone.

Along with the sojourn, a most rational choice indeed. That’ll do, pig. That’ll do.

I agree. I had a Strunal 5/35 hybrid before upgrading to another hybrid. The tuners are a dead giveaway. I really enjoyed and learned a lot in the time I had it. With the current situation and with actual availability with entry level DBs , I’d grab the bird in hand to start your flight. Set up...

You’ll be happy with the results of OOOO steel wool, a light touch and much patience. I’ve done it on a lesser Strunal. There are bad finishes on good basses.

One week works wonders.

On my Jazz and Precision I love my TI s. I know they make a set for Beatle basses (the trapeze tailpiece make it a different sting length than a regular short scale). I’m wondering if they’re any other choices. I’m not afraid of floppy.

DJBebop, Kudos! Not a mic man myself, but I admire your efficient innovation.

Yeah, I’m seeing that as a plain inlay patch in the purfling groove. I’d say it’s fine as is and gives your bass character.

I’ve always heard the parable as the Yankee farmer with an axe so good he replaced the handle three times, and the head twice! Ship of Theseus has more panache.

Let it be

Yeah, I’m going to side with mostly myth. I just bought some new stereo speakers. As per usual, it takes me about a week of fussy listening before hearing the music rather than the speakers. True with my bass cabs as well..

Take another look. I love the maple fingerboard. Especially on your darlin.
