The Matador is a new model, shown at summer NAMM. I don't believe it will be available as a 5-string. I don't want to say too much, not my place to. But as this info has already hit the public airways, yes, right now you can only get one as a custom shop order.

MmmHmm...Nice! Are those MFD pickups, I wonder? There’s a delightful toothiness to the tone that’s very G&L.

Thank You...Thats the one thing I wanted different lol. However I'm getting used to it and my wife digs it.
That was me. I ended up deleting the post because I also made some stupid comment about a typo you made when you mentioned this bass. Then a few minutes after posting it I asked myself if there was really a need to be an a$$ and decided there wasn't, and that's when I deleted it.
And, seeing that you remembered my request and did post the pictures, I'm even MORE glad now that I deleted it.

To be honest I don’t remember you being an a$$, but it’s all good
Oh, being an a$$ is one of my superpowers. Luckily, as I've gotten older I've gotten better at recognizing when I'm doing it so I can stop myself.Hi Dave,

That doesn't always mean I'm actually able to stop myself, but at least my success rate seems to be increasing over time.
I would be willing be bet there are times that rather than stop yourself, you want to turn the gain up on it a bit. I know I do.Oh, being an a$$ is one of my superpowers. Luckily, as I've gotten older I've gotten better at recognizing when I'm doing it so I can stop myself.

Oh man, I wanted to post the crib scene from Meet the Fockers...
But the Mods might accidentally have clicked the ban button on my account while laughing.
There’s no audio and no captioning, hopefully this is ok.......

I wondered that too, but I'm pretty sure they're Alinco pickups from the LB-100. Still a cool bass...I'm a Double P Fanboy!
They should double down and bring the MFD from the SB.
