The Sung Il recommended by El Trueno. Looks like the BB104 is the correct model.

May I have a number please? Had this Mercalli 4 for a few months now, and yes: I absolutely love it.

My lefty Decision P arrived early today. Spent the past two hours playing at am absolutely loving this bass. Going to do some minor set up work on it tomorrow along with a string change. But out of the box it was just awesome. I am very impressed with the tone and the pickups allow for a nice range. The only gripe I have is the Jazz/Bridge pickup is very sharp so I'm having to adjust my hand poison when playing fingerstyle.

Otherwise, its a winner!

 

[John Stephen]

Congrats. Sounds like a great score.

How's the low B? I have a Mercalli 5 and the low B is awesome. I trust the Triad 5 is too?
By the looks of it these are standard sized jazz bombs, same as the 4 string Triad. Any volume issues on the G and B compared with the rest of the strings? There are zero reviews on this beauty yet!

Nice! That's tempting me a little bit more. That finish looks awesome. Will need to wait a while though. Still waiting for delivery of my Thundergun…

If I didn't already have a Mercalli I would have wanted a Thundergun too!

Sounds fantastic across all strings! Much higher output than my Mercalli 5 though

It's maiden voyage was tonight as our tour took us through Pulaski, VA. I was very happy with it. I love my Mercallis, but this is actually better for the way our set is structured this time around. I may mod it, I may not. I am thinking about a pickup swap, and rewire to be able to get the neck and bridge pickups as an option. I'm a car guy, so I have taken to calling it the Tri 5.

Who needs a Ric when..
Seeing 12 as potentially a minimum order number for a custom run made me wonder if we could ever put together a TalkBass group buy of something... Outfield Ivy Mercalli or Triad??
