NBD - SR600e ... thanks Lobster!

[Phlipper]

So the 600 has had a cleaning and setup. From the box the neck was dead straight and the strings were very low, which is fine since I bought it for slap. It appeared to have been intonated already. Just a bit of tightening, tweaking, soaking, and lubing and it's perfect.

My first bass with singles. Very sizzelly. Great thru my clean Hartkes. I do have to work the EQ a bit to get the tone I need for my country gigs but it works there easily, too.

So far me likee.

Auto-correct strikes again.

It's funny to me so I always leave them that way.

Course ... I have autism. So my sense of humor is weird.

First ordered an SR1600 then cancelled, then looked at Ray34s and would have gone that route except for the thread on the bad batch of tuners, then the SR600e that I originally wanted was finally in-stock. I rewatched Lobsters video on it (that gave me GAS for one to start with) and pulled the trigger. Came in this morning.

Of course, I'm at work so my wife is having all the fun with it. She's dabbling with upright and is currently doing an online class with someone using her fretless acoustic. So she's putting the newest SR through it's paces.

So ... thanks for the GAS lobster!

Hello! How is the finish holding up? I heard from multiple sources that the finish is thin and chips easily.
