What's a flag? The Bass look great!

They came with the bass. Gotta say, this bass is amazing, and I'd highly recommend it.

Yes, I signed up for the Alembic Club, but I haven't used that forum yet. I got such a nice response from this forum that I felt well taken care of here. But, yes I will go there and look around. Thanks, Eddie

Thanks Bones! Thanks for your nice letter. I think the Essence is going be partner in crime for a long time to come. I also play an NS Design 5 string electric upright, so I'm in Bass Heaven!! Eddie

Yes, it lights up like a Christmas tree. That's very cool, but I do kinda wish it also had the regular fret markers on the fingerboard. But, hey, I'm not complaining! I've been not doing my regular work (as a freelance commercial artist) all day, and just wandering downstairs to play the bass...

Hi bassbenj, Thanks very much for your encouraging words. I've been writing back and forth with the seller for that past hour, and I think he makes a good case. The fact that your comments agree with his is very reassuring. I live 30 minutes from the seller so I'm asking him to let me come by...

Thanks guys for all the info... I wish I would have found this forum before clicking on the "bid button". Eddie

Ouch! I guess I really acted too soon by putting a bid in on this bass. Do you think it's true that the bass cost $9000 new? Oh boy... Thanks for your input. Eddie

OMG.... I put in a bid before doing my research... Thanks for your help. Eddie
