Got a call from Todd today.
He said that my NS-5XL is at the finisher now. Probably just a few more weeks.
That's always a great call! How long has your wait been so far?

Thanks Carey!
Brad, I ordered on 3/14/2013. Never had my patience tested like this.
But it's all good. Can't wait to strap on that fiver and rock the house!Hopefully the NS-2 will be done by the end of the year. Ordered that 6/13/2013.
Thanks Rod! I have never seen a Red NS2c....and have been dying for one! how the hell do I get it shipped from Canada? lol
Nope! It got here safe and sound! Included was a fitted HSC, I'm very happy with the bass I bought considering it was off ebay with 2 photos, but the seller was a really good guy and messaged back quickly to everything I sent him. I'd do the ebay thing again, but would definitely ask for more pics next time just to be safe. Gonna be playing this on stage on the 20th I think, first practice with it will be Wednesday.
I'm thinking I'll probably get a trim TP or an OBP-3 depending on how I like it in the Euro 5 and swap out the hardware for gold at some point. How difficult would throwing my Euro's gold HW on the Rex be and installing a USA bridge be on the Euro? I'm not really 100% sure what I wanna do yet but I know I'd love to get gold on the Rex.
The spots in the picture are just iphone camera specs, the bass is in really good shape. Very happy I decided to try the Rex out, I think it'll get some pretty good playing time compared to my Euro!

bam!!
Very nice Duke, sounds like you had the same experience on the delivery as I did but I'm glad it arrived safe. Different millings are used on the bridge and I'm not sure of the dimensions, someone will join in if you still want to modify but it will take someone who is skilled to do it right!

Hey Duke-
I had the same thought with my Rex4, and it turned out like this:
I really like it. I used the hardware off my older legend PJ. If you can find a fiver from the same period (gold hardware and three band pre), they should swap fine.
Then you could always resell the legend with the black hardware. I really like my legend too, so I'm keeping it.
Every now and then you can find a good buy on one at the GC used site.

Very Nice!
That's the beauty of playing a 5r...played long enough you'll start realizing how much easier it is to play by incorporating the B string often. I rarely play the first string, G.
You got off cheap! At least cheaper than me. My Dental supplement only pays 50%.
But man is it priceless to have all teeth. unlike most of the residences up north here. 
Mmmmm....White SpectorMy white Euro may be next on the block - if I decide to sell it, I'll give you a heads-up first (complete with club member discount & cool-guy price break, of course).
Hey,
So interesting development in my SAS department. I was looking around and found a used NS-4H2 at my local Sam Ash. I havent gotten to go play it yet, but I will try to before I leave for my weekend tour on Thursday.
Anyway this one has the EMG 35CS-TW in the neck and an EMG MM pickup in the bridge.
Has anyone here played one with that combination? I'm just curious what you gain or loose with having the MM pickup at the bridge in place of the standard EMG 35CW-TW.
Oh and to make my SAS even worse, it's serial number is 407. Why is 407 SAS inducing you may ask?
Well lets have a look at the back of my old Brooklyn:
It must be a sign!

Hey...you want us to talk with your wife for you, I bet she is a wonderful lady and we can convince her of your need for a new toy (just like the kids!)...A white Euro would be nice that's for sure!
SaWeet leather work design!
Fat240 is stamping this and keeping me posted on Facebook, Mike has talents and I'm dying to see the Torn logo because it looks ripped/torn in the design and to see it on leather is going to be very cool!
