TBC Blowout on their eBay store.

Just thought I should point out that the "Midnight Blue" Pick guard is essential black. You were probably shipped the right bass. Congrats on receiving it anyway! I'm still waiting on mine... Hopefully the UPS fairies drop it off tomorrow.

Yeah it's a really dark blue...you have look at it just right in the light.
 
I received my JJ a short time ago. It spent a week in the shop getting a set up, fret leveling and a Bartolini pre-amp. I played it at rehearsal on Monday and at a blues jam last night. Thunderous tone and very smooth to play. I am one happy bass player....
 
just got my mm model , whatever he calls it. amazing nice neck. very flat and wide like a 60-62 pbass. needed some fretboard oil, both pups all the way down into body. added some more foam and lifted them and balanced volume better. for $200 the best bass i have ever played since i bought my 71 pbass new for $172. not great quality wood with some dark spots on the top edges and back but clean front. decent quality pups, cheap hardware and circuit. fine bass asit stands, with some upgrade could be a great bass, never mind the price point. I also got a 5 string jj model. I like that body style much more but the mm sounds much fuller/richer and the 4 string neck is a charm. they are a hassle to get one but clearly worth the hassle if you can luck into one.
