Dude. I played that NS-4 at Bass Central last October and LOVED IT so... that bass has a fantastic neck and the quilt/blue-black finish is so sick.
When you see the Blue Dream later this year (my USA NS-2JJ - Doug Wimbish signature), I sent Stuart photos of YOUR bass to show him the finish color I wanted. The ONLY difference is mine will have a very slight burst on the outside edge (in black) and the neck and headstock will be black. I'm doing the same high gloss clear coat (always for me).
I love your bass. It's really an amazing NS-4.
Here's a pic of the Forte 5. I can't stop playing this bass . Seriously - this has been my entire day and night since I opened it and got it set up. More pics and pics of the Euros for sale soon!
