I just received my custom frog 
[couch shot]
Since I custom configured all the lightest possible hardware and wood choice, I was hoping for somewhere 7.5 lbs but it ends up at 8.5 lbs which is a bit disappointing...

Yep, as far as I know, it's Not a chambered isntrument, e.g. Like the Elwood L or Europe.

I bet that's not all you have to say about this instrument...? Wow!! Beautiful man! Don't like the round pickups though but excellent wood choice and block inlays!!
Don't like the pickups?.....
Wow!.....No accounting for different tastes I guess....
Yeah, totally jealous. I love that "Hellwood" style finish, too. That thing looks awesome! And I love those inlays!!!
I actually like the the look of the Extenders on some builds and less so on others. My dream Frog......

To be clear. I don't like the shape. don't know how they sound though.
My Svoboda fretless 5 is on the way and my fretless headless Frog Omega 5 is ordered! 
Thanks, the guy I bought if from also added FretFX.com led lights, nice add on.

Beautiful bass but I would be worried about replacing pickups down the road if they went bad or if they didn't work out. I've never seen any pickups in this shape and size.
I think you'd be hard-pressed to not like the Xtenders. They're pretty impressive and when mated with the Sonar pre and 3 way switching, they're over-the-top. I'm pretty sure I have the dual-coil. When "dusted", the coil configuration looks like two side-by-side Twix bars.
Now I want a Twix bar.

The feedback that I've received about their tone has been overwhelmingly positive. I wasn't really a fan of the "look" when I first saw them but now I actually prefer that "look" on some builds. Still, the look of an instrument with the more standard soap bar shape & wood pickup covers excites me as well. I just need more money so that I can make my dream happen!
Oh, man, how I wish you said you were giving up a 6-string.... That thing is super cool. By the way, nice black-on-black Ric in that one picture!!! I had a black Ric back in the day, but with the white pick guard and truss rod cover. Totally miss that thing! (This was high school and the early 1980s; I even had t-shirt made at the mall, with cheesy iron-on letters, that said "Rickenbacker 2001.")
Man, the wait is killing me! It's currently sitting in Cologne, DE. I wonder if I could get them to throw in a few bottles of Rhine Auslese or Spätlese?

Hahahahahaa! For me the wait was killing too. It feels as if you are a kid again. At least for me it did. Hang in there man!!
