So I just picked up this beauty today. Bought it locally from a bass friend who had it custom built by Devon a couple years ago. This is actually my 5th Devon and they have all been killer but this one is truly something else. The specs are below. I had not planned on buying a new bass but my friend contacted me and offered me a trade and I had no choice. You know how it is. Enjoy the photos.
