Sorry guys...I didn't mean to tease...
Joe Smithberger - It's the same color as FenderP's but the pickguard is different. It's a amber-brown Italian celluloid material. Looks great and complements the butterscotch color very nicely.
Richnota - You've got me figured out!
FenderP - Thanks for the inspiration to buy a Solid 4.
I hope to post pictures and more info next week. Stand by...

Is your pickup cover white or black? Just curious if Rob's doing them all white. I'm also curious if ROb's using my neck in terms of thickness/shape for the production ones or mine was a one off.
And glad I got you to part with cashola
Yours I also believe has one less fret ...
Hi everyone! I thought that after 6 months or so of owning this beauty, it was time I posted a photo. Being a jazz guy, this is my main goto bass, especially those times when I just don't feel like lugging around my upright. Rob makes beautiful sounding and looking basses. I've never seen walnut this incredible looking before.
Maybe I'm wrong then, but my understanding is that Rob went to a single tone knob on the newer Deep basses. Mine was the first one/prototype, and I know isn't the final design.

Mponthier - I'm stunned at the beauty of your Deep 4! Congrats on landing such a wonderful bass!

Yeah, in addition to being fretless, I'm trying to start a stringless fad. Rob thinks the removal of strings might make me sound better.
The bass is finally done and being shipped. I've been eagerly tracking it, but it hasn't moved since Friday.
I'll give 'em another day, although FedEx with my Stambaugh was pretty quick and the updates seemed like they were in real time.
Very cool. Keep us posted!
Well, despite the UPS fear, everything turned out ok! There were a few harsh dings on the box, but the case was bubble wrapped very nicely and the case was intact. The contents were intact as well. It plays great and balances great on the strap. On the knee, it's a tad neck heavy without any right arm pressure. Minimal right arm involvement neutralizes that.
It sounds pretty good, but will sound great in a week or two when the strings break in.

Here's what I got before the batteries died. Gotta put 'em back in the charger for a while.
Not my preferred lighting for the detailed shots, so those should come later.
