Look like I might have to start collecting cans and bottles and drive them to MI for the deposits to fund my new habit.:help:

The wait will be worth it... trust me... :)

If it makes you feel any better, Pete got smacked down by circumstances really hard about the time my bass was due, which delayed it by a couple months! While I totally understand how/why it happened, and hold him at NO fault, it didn't make that extended wait any easier. :) So while you're thinking about a few days, think about my WEEKS... :D

Anyway, keep us posted. :)

Tuesday appears to be the new ETA since Fedex did't deliver Fri or Sat due to weather and they are closed on Mon for home deliveries. The wait continues.:hmm:

Well the spiiling is limited. Nonetheless, I'll give you what I got.

Received the bass and it was in much better shape than the box that fedex punched holes in and roughed up enroute. Actually, the bass was perfect. It's truly an optical delight!!!!!!!!!!!!!.I see why you went with this top! Lions, tigers and snakes-OH MY...:eek: So after 20 min. of gawking and wordless jawjak'n(not to mention the opthomalogy referral), I plugged the bass into my little mark II head and EA vl1-10 to let the magic begin.

Well like Moses I got a glimpse of the promise but didn't get there( needless to say tho' it is very promising). Here's why. The bass is set up for E-E tuning with 105-25 gauge strings and I didn't have a print out of your pre-amp info. Throw in a splash of limited time;I'm currently out of town.:( Would love to be in the mid-west mmmm..... Well you get the idea.

Nevertheless, when I get back its on. I'm going to rock these strings and tuning for a minute. Different in an interesting way.
Later, with Pete's hook up, I'm going put it through the paces with some Skjold's strings.

So I'll have to give you a more thorough review later, but the the prelim. is that the bass is basicly, boutiquely,birds'eye beautiful. Neck and action was great despite the fact that I have to get use to a 6'er. My first. I feel like..... for the very... Anyway, It was lighter than I expected and ergonomicly sound. But more lata!:)
