Show us your 'NEW' babies

Not sure if this thread has been done before, but I thought I'd start one for everyone with a brand new bass.
I know most people are so excited they have to show everyone, so maybe a good thread for anyone that has just got a new (new to them, can be used) bass in the last say...month

So just to start off, here is my new Black Tiger Elite 5 with 7 piece body & neck

Really nice 5 string.
here is my Rockinbetter 4003, had it a couple of months now, so to me its still new! have fitted the vintage/modern tone switch and fitted a Ric bridge pickup cover, the Ric one is more rounded that the one that came with the bass. i also fitted a Ric thumb rest.

I would kill for one of those Rockenbetters. New Rics are way too pricey for a bedroom bassist. I wisk I could find one, and have the money at the same time...what a dreamer I am :hmm:
 
Sadowsky Vintage 5 w/ master grade quilt top and ash body. 24 fret roasted master grade birds eye board and neck. Single coil "J"s and a "D-tuner" on the "B" string. 'Bout a month and a half old.

And a couple of weeks before that I ran across a deal I couldn't pass up on a very rare Alembic Dragon Wing Cocobolo top bass...

And somewhere inbetween the two purchases I stumbled across a mint condition Korean Reissue Dano Longhorn short scale bass I couldn't resist...

It had serious problems. I ended up having to
defrett and added an extra volume, as well
as other fixes. Non of which cost any money.
