i tried two CS Relic pbasses and one CS Heavy Relic pbass. the HR was notably lighter and more resonant. it wasn't my favorite color and cost more, but i had to have it. no contest or second thoughts.
Hell, yeah!Well, the day has arrived and here she is! '64 CS Heavy Relic Seafoam Green over Fiesta Red. SUPER STOKED on how it turned out!!!
Lovely color, I really dig it! Congratulations, my friend! 
Now, you are obliged to do one thing: a photo of the two brothers, side by side!

Lovely bass. I don't like the bridge cover upside down though.
Haha, I didn't even notice, I had some new string put on and wasn't even paying attention! Lol. Anyways, corrected now!
Hey Bro, how you diggin' that bass? I found one that I'm drooling over that I'm considering clearing the bank account for. Same color.Here you go! And sorry for the crappy pics...

Absolutely love it. Sounds bigger and warmer than any other PBass I've tried. Mojo for days. Gets more attention than any other instrument I've ever had - from musicians and non musicians alike.
Thanks.
I want that bass soooo bad. Found it on clearance for a good price but they want to charge me 200 extra for the case. You know who does that? I'm thinking of skipping the case and putting it in my Reunion Blues bag and calling it the day. I'm buying it to keep so I don't to much care about not having the case for resale value but you never know how life will do you.

Here is my 2004 Custom Shop 1964 Jazz Bass Relic. I bought this bass here on TalkBass from MillerM54 about 2 weeks ago. Absolutely killer bass. I'll take a number. Thanks

I actually don't like the case it comes with anyway, to be honest. I've been thinking of swapping it out for a tweed case. But I've just been taking it to gigs in my Sadowsky Portabag, which I highly prefer to cases anyway. Not sure what they're asking for that bass. I got mine for $2995 mint with great service (and I think they still have one more)...
2799 w/o case. 2999 with. I tried to go for it yesterday but construction traffic was so awful yesterday it took me 1 hour to go 1 exit so I turned around to another hour to go back. Freakin' Atlanta traffick is worse than NY's at times. But I'm going up there today and see what happens.

I'd definitely go no case and knowing what I know now, I would have. That was the only disappointing thing about it. For $200, you can buy something much better, IMO.
Let us know what happens!
It's Guitar Center. They've been doing that for years. And if you remind them that the bass was shipped with the case, they'll tell you that they have to put it in the system that way for inventory purposes. And once a year, they'll have a sale on cases on the sales floor of all the cases that were not sold with the bass for considerably less. Crazy I know.

I think that that case is worth 200€ in Europe, so the price itself doesn't seem weird to me. I find it silly to give a bass like this without a case, though - and I am not referring to FlatwoundFunk of course, but to Guitar Center.
