Haha... actually I find it pretty exciting *facetiousness noted* ... do ya still have the cable?!?
Yea- gotcha... because I live in a condo space (every inch) is at a premium
I have 2 Mono gig-bags which I hang on a wall 
... although- you may have been inferring that I can ‘offer’ to fit either/or...thx!
Decimal and Imperial aren't the same - 7 lbs 14.6 oz is 7.913 lbs. Yes, I'm being nit-picky, but it makes me wonder when I see a weight in the classifieds of 8.15 lbs if it's really 8.15 lbs or 8 lbs 15 ounces.
Rant over. Heh.
Congrats on the new bass!!!

You would think most people would know how to read their scale though if they go the trouble of weighing their instruments.
When you see accuracy to a thousandth of a pound, that's usually a good tipoff. A thousandth of a pound is about 7 grains of rice.

I definitely agree. I'm just saying that it's funny that someone that is so concerned about the weight of their instrument can't be bothered to learn about the tool they are using to weigh it. My new Stingray is the only instrument I have ever bothered to weigh and it was only because I was shocked at how light it was.
Every time I think about the imperial system I think of the episode of Two and a Half Men when there was a female friend that was tall and self conscious about her height. She listed her height on a dating website as 5 foot 13.
Thx- I’m just super-excited bout the weight!! all my basses go thru ‘rigorous’ mods... will be working on that in the coming weeks (hours
Congrats on the new surprise! Please let me know if you part out the Sonic Blue P bass. What specifically is the body on it? (I ask because I have a '62 AVRI neck with the truss rod adjustment at the heal.
On a side note, I'm sure you'll find another spot to hang another...I'm in the same situation as my home office walls are full.

Thx! I’ve already disassembled the Sonic Blue... body was a ‘94 Squier (according to ebay)- parts are from the (new) Player in this post- includes a CS Paisley (etched) neckplate. I did dremel a TR notch in the body. Here is the post from the ‘project’: NBRP
PM me if interested in more info... thx!

Nice bass, nicer wife!
Neck staying stock?
Thx- I like ‘er! Yup- neck staying ‘the same’- except just ordered some Hipshot HB7’s
Of course I still have the cable and about another 30 more since then. The bass I actually traded a few weeks back for the same model bass, but a 4 string version. A Peavey Millennium loaded with MEC Dynamic Correction pickups out of a Warwick and a Tone Monster 2 band preamp. Not everybody can say they have a Peavey with Warwick pupsHaha... actually I find it pretty exciting *facetiousness noted* ... do ya still have the cable?!?
. It's an awesome sounding bass.
Yay!!! Beautiful mods to a beautiful gift. The scale pic was showing enough room to fly a plane between the strings and the board. Now the onus is on you to get your sweet wife a suitable Valentine's Day gift. Afraid a box of chocolates won't do.
So the obvious question is: Did you remember to pickup the '57?
Nice snag!
Nice snag!
Very nice indeed and your wife is wonderful for buying it for you.
Question is what are you going to get her for Valentines Day?

Congratulations!
I’ve had similar Precision for over a year now. Before I even opened up the case, I was all set to replace the parchment guard with an anodized gold one. It was in such good shape though, I didn’t want to risk my luck with a screwdriver against a near-perfect finish. I’ve since been ok with the mundane guard.
Congratulations again! My own Precision was a surprise purchase, as well. Albiet, happened over a sleepless night.

Very torty!
That weight is outstanding! You owe your wife a closet full of shoes!So- went to GC to pick up a SM57 mic, yesterday, and checked out basses (of course!
This morning wifey sez: ‘why don’t I buy if for you- for Valentines Day’?!? I ‘accepted’!!!
Just returned home (needs a setup, etc., badly)...
Got a few $ off & tried to get a gig bag (or something) thrown in... my guy check in the back & returns with a Fender (C&G) hard case... It is for a Jazz & I only use gig bags... but I took it- will sell (or donate) at some point
