    I have number 19. Black with matching headstock. Darkstars. No dots on fretboard. Love my Decade! Also, used to have the exact same bass as this one except with chi-sonics. Wish I had never let it go. Killer bass. Decades are way underrated.

    Agreed great number of tones available. Switching btw flats and rounds is like a whole new bass. So versatile.

    Whoa! That's a beauty. Is this a jazz width neck?

    These basses do have a very comfy jazz width neck!

    Lpcarter is correct! Jazz width neck and this one has some nice flame maple figure to it.

    Hi 16notes,

    Just sent you a PM about the Decade. Also, please accept a digital hug from me, as another person scarred by graduate school. I recently finished up my doctorate and am readjusting to the real world. It's... a little weird. Like taking your sunglasses off on a bright day.
