Glad to see you're happy with the bass David. Great pics too.

Just clicked over to this thread from a link that was shared to facebook. I'm waaay behind on posts and messages here on TB, so it looks like I have some reading to do and posts to make :/

I've told you this before. I dig pretty much everything about it. But that neck.....drool

Feels like I have played it for years.

I agree, the neck profile on my C4 is fantastic! It's definitely the easiest neck for me to play out of any bass I've ever owned.

Is yours gloss or oil? Mine is oil and feels like the inside of an old baseball glove.....in a good way.

We don't oil any of our necks... yours (and all of our necks) are coated with a thin coat of Satin Poly. Feels much smoother to the touch than gloss or thicker coats some brands use.

Cool. Thanks for the clarification.

Whatever it is, is works. It feels "broken in" from day one. Really comfortable to play. I just grab it and play a few minutes all the time.

And then the wife says, "It's 3am! Go back to bed!"

And then 2F says, "I'm just polishing my baseball glove...I MEAN...I'm just playing bass!"

She just kind of rolls her eyes and says....

"Really? Again?"

Two Fingers, I love your new bass. P/MM is always a great sounding combination. Please post clips if you have not already done so.

Thanks!

I will when I get a chance, Doc. I'm not really set up for recording but I have lots of friends who are. It shouldn't take too long to knock out each flip of the switch for a minute or so.

What were the woods you have for the body, top, neck, and fretboard?

What were the woods you have for the body, top, neck, and fretboard?

All alder body
Maple neck
Rosewood board

I continue to he impressed by it every time I pick it up. I'm still hoping things come together for Hammersmith and @MarkoYYZ .
