Finish is beautiful, the neck looks and feels incredible, everything is great. The neck is actually a alightly darker color than in that pic, and the back looks like it's got a quilted finish. It's kind of strange, but cool! The only minor flaws are that I need to lower the action, and the fretboard looks a tad dry. Both easily remedied. THe stock PUp's even sound good. Got a nice thump, and if I roll back one of the volume knobs I can get some really clear jazzy tones. WOOOO! [/nerd exitement] SX SPJ62
Hmm...trying to find "my sound" with this pick-up configuration is becoming more difficult than I expected. I can't believe I forgot how much fun it is to play bass. Still need to work on my finger-plucking though. REALLY rusty...all those years of playing guitar made playing with a pick second nature though...hehe.
