fingerboard - not a great shot, but you get the idea. Looks so much better in person

thanks, guys. I'm very happy with this bass so far. I've been looking for that one bass for a while and I think I have it. The Sonic Blue might be the perfect compliment when it arrives. Though, I've been thinking I should've had that body natural as well.

This has been well worth the 11 month wait.

:bassist: <-- one of the few times you'll see me use an emoticon.

Holy schnikes! That is incredible, E. Obviously, I've seen the neck in person, and it does look even better. But it looks better still combined with that body! The wood, the chrome and the black all work together so well. Congrats!
 
So great to hear Evan!


that was straight out of the box. I wanted to get a few pics out of the way before I played for a while. I'll put one up "unwrapped" shortly.

Ummm yea. This bass is great. Looks great, sounds great, feels great. I played very very very briefly with the rounds on there. It makes me want to get it epoxied so I can put rounds on, but I'll wait until my p-bass comes in to decide for sure on that.
There is a bit of a flaw in the neck near the nut on the treble side. It seems like some finishing is missing or something. I'm not sure. I'll take a pic to send to the crew. It doesn't interfere with playing so I'm fine with it for now.

The body grain is fantastic and just what I wanted. The vintage tint is awesome. It sounds great with the flats... I don't know what else to say. I'm very happy. This could be my only bass and I'd be happy forever.
 
I'm glad that sticker was there. I thought they gave me bogus import pickups until I saw that.. I was just in a rush to get pics taken so I didn't forget later while playing and teaching.

to think that I ordered this bass as an after thought and the long winding path taken to get the specs to what they are. So cool.
Thanks for the kind words everyone. I'll stop hogging all of the LOG thread.
This is, without a doubt, a lifer.

EDIT
Oh, one last thing: This is now the unofficial "EM DJ" or the E-Mac signature bass. AC got his, but now it's time for the EM. Look out... OK, I'll stop.
