That is very very nice. I don't think I recall seeing too many, if any at all, black 7+ stringers. Seems it's the natural look for most of them.
Wouldn't it be a hoot to replace Geddy's 4 banger with this beast about 2 minutes before he hits the stage? Seeing the look on his face would be worth whatever Rush is asking for tickets these days.

Yo Jean, that is absolutely spectacular, bro! The flat black with the birdseye pickgaurd is awesome looking.
Let's get some sound clips up!

Wowza. I always loved conklins wooden pickguards and with the neck bindings and the whole vintage vibe going on, that bass takes the cake. Congrats on ANOTHER outstanding bass.

- I once had impure thoughts. Oh, and I pluck my ear hair.
This is an absolutely staggering bass!!!
I would love to have a Conklin someday. Conklin and MTD are probably the two high-end makes that I G.A.S for the most.

You don't want to do that. Trust me.
john turner said:kick butt man. that's awesome.
Ok John when is yours due for delivery?
. This is a great example of blending traditional vintage looks with modern features, very cool. 
+1 on all the "Beautiful, "Amazing" etc. posts.
One question tho, It's a Signature Model? Are they going to offer it for sale to others? Would that be the New Century or are they going to expand the GT line? (I kinda doubt that, but you never know...) and if so and you can say, howmuch would one of the production models run?
