NBD.....!

whatever it is it must be so awesome he can't stop playing it and probably passed out from exhaustion
Remember that you must wait 48 hours without opening the box to let the bass acclimate and equalize temperature and humidity. This is very important. Under no circumstances should you open the box earlier than the full 48 hours have passed with it in your home.
What's the best delivery notification for metal?
First let me say, the responses regarding the anticipation of what was delivered to my house were pretty hilarious.
Anyway, my son and his fiance closed on their new house yesterday so there was some work I had to do to help and only had time to open the box and snap a couple photos.
I had one of these but I hated the "turd-burst" brown finish. Sold that one and spoiled myself by getting a color I wanted now that they're available. It may not be for everyone but I like bright colors, hint, see my Musicmaster in my avatar.
Hanging with the family, red lights give it a decidedly "less blue" shade.
Now that there's photos, it happened.
Thanks for the interest.

I am impressed. That is the only Hofner I ever liked the looks of. May get one myself someday.

Nice and it is indeed a NBD in the real sense for sure... 
I was just busting you chops with my earlier post - Now for an update:
NBD = Nice Bass Dude.

Many people were, too funny!
Thanks, our guitarist hates it, I'll be sure to tell him there is now confirmed "universal support" for my touches of white on there. I painted the pickguard and put the white speed knobs on too. Just to get some "brightness" to it.
...or so underwhelmingly boring and normal that it can't possibly live up to the hype he made for it and is now trying to find a way to get out of taking pictures.

I was right, it was a box. Delivery protected by another box.
I really do love what was inside it too...
Congrats, that's a sweet bass in an awesome color.

I thought someone said that they sound kind of boxyBet it's a box. Congrats!
Ditto. Until today I had NO DESIRE for a Hofner. Now? Well ... perhaps.
