Hope you're ready for that unboxing...it can be hard on the ticker. Make sure you're seated and in a neutral position.

Picked up this stellar transwhite ABZ with FDVs and tone capsule the other day. Needless to say, it plays and sounds insane.
You are the king of the succinct review, brother.![]()
For my band in Denver, our metric for bass output was how many objects upstairs we’d find knocked over when we took a break...
Super reggae bass seems likely to shake bottles off the bar, from time to time

NDD! The Z3B has arrived. Wow! I keep picking it up and playing it a little, and then I have to put it in the stand just to look at it. Then I have to play it some more.
I love the thin neck. Fit and finish is superb. I have an appointment shortly so I'll get a chance to plug it in later.

I said goodbye to my custom exotic Z3 today. She is going to a lucky bass player back in her motherland. Sigh... I will now turn my focus on my NG2, which I had retrofitted with FretTraX. I also have an NG3 6 on the horizon.

Thank you all for your comments about my new ABZ. I really wasn’t looking for one but when I saw that transwhite, I knew I was in trouble. That and the fact it had the DG pre and wenge neck was the capper.
