Thanks guys. It's kinda like the new hot girlfriend.
It was last thing I thought about before I went to sleep
last night and the first thing I thought about when I woke
up this morning. Damn I got it bad.

Yup. There may be some truth to this whole gateway philosophy. I've been playing E5S number 005 since June of 2012. The bass is absolutely spectacular. That feeling of not being able to walk by it without playing, or at least touching it has been my experience for the past 16 or so months. However, this morning, my wife and I drove into Brooklyn and left with a Monarch 5 deluxe, alder body, stunning curly walnut top and Birdseye maple fretboard. Yup, the gateway has stricken.

I don't know if I still have it with me or if it is in storage, but I have the wiring diagram for the old Haz Lab preamp. I had to repair a preamp from a late-80s (I think?) Fodera for a friend and I made the diagram for it.
I'll see if I have it with me here in California.

Steu,
Not only did my wife know, but She actually reached out to Jason and arranged the whole thing. She is amazing and I am one very lucky man. Sorry man... No sister.

She thinks I am a little nutty for paying so much for basses, but cars, Harleys, and other hobbies can be worse.Cool bass, but I like the headstock and upper horn much better on a Monarch or Emperor. Just IMO of course....
Also, no longer showing as available.....
