Thanks Santa!

Dunno how he fit it down the chimney, but this is my new bass. Takamine EG512CGAMQ. I've been looking for an acoustic bass for a long time (the Alvarez MSB1 was just too small for me) and this is perfect. I love the color and the sound.

Now the real question is what kind of strings to put on it. It needs new ones already, i think this one was in the store (although it doesn't have any scuffs on it)

The case that a certain online retailer shipped to us (that we had to pick up this morning at the airport -_-) turned out to be a dud. The tolex wasn't glued at the seams, really bad craftsmanship.. but that will be taken care of on the 26th!

What do you guys use for strings on your acoustic basses?

Happy Holidays to all!
