20" rims? Noooooooooooo...... I thought we'd moved past this unfortunate trend, but apparently not.
Better pictures to come when I can get good light and more time. These will do for "proof" that the brown truck did, in fact, arrive.
I've only had 45 minutes or so with it. Rehearsal tomorrow, then I'll really know more. One silly thing, one of the battery boxes was not screwed in, the two screws used were stripped out and not holding. I fixed it in 2 minutes, but how silly is that!? The fretwork seems very good, and it plays quite nicely. Again, though, I need more time with it to really have any valid opinions. It came almost two weeks early!

I just wish there were a way to play one first. I don't want to get it and not like it.
I'm really going the bass route as of now.

That is a sweeeeet looking bass!!!!
A Groove is a Terrible Thing to Waste!
Okay, I played the new SB4000 at rehearsal yesterday and it sounded great. The guitar player, who has played a lot of bass, as well, was floored by both the tone and the looks. I guess it's a keeper. 
As promised, here are some more/better pics:

Yeah, Toucan Dream. Vic has a good eye. That's the name of our duo when my wife and I play together.
