Black PG on the white body looks sharp! (like my avatar) Passive? What are the control knobs? VVT?

VVT.
I remember hating that and thinking it was ridiculously stupid as opposed to a balance. Once I got used to it though...
These looked really tempting to me... I can't decide if I want a Caprice or a G&L SB-2....
Would the wait sound better or feel shorter if you had a tort guard on order? Maybe you could occupy your time arguing with folks here about that, and by the time the thread closed, you'd have the bass.
Looks classy, hope it plays and sounds as good as it looks.

No idea. They don't always get right back to me right away with a tracking number. My guess is about a week.
Should note that I don't mind the wait
. I think I learned to enjoy that as much as the NBD. I think the only day I still have trouble with is the OFD day. I sit home all day looking out the window 8000 times.
Congratulations! Very nice bass.
I'm waiting for EB to come out with the five string version.

Nothing. It's more what's happened to me...
Coupla yrs ago I started playing a lot of shows in a Zep tribute. Bongo didn't really fit, and while the Big Al actually did, I felt I really needed to be playing a Jazz. I did, and I kinda got hooked on passive basses. The good folks at MM knew that, so they created this bass to keep me happy
They, of course, didn't know they were making it to keep me happy, but I did and that's all that matters.
It's cool that they offer something as radical-looking as The Bongo but still have other basses that fit in visually & sonically for situations like yours. How long is the wait? Edit: Nevermind. You answered that already.
Is "sonically" not a word? A red line comes up under the word when I type it. Could've sworn it was a legit word.
Beat me to the tort guard comment. (My favorite look for J bass,tort-on-white).(speaking of Tom Petty
or should i say Ron Blair.)Congrats,looks like a lovely bass. and i love they offer a passive bass now.
I have a small herd of basses I built myself from Warmoth parts. Every bass has 2 long waits to endure - the body and the neck. So, I can empathize.
I also never had any wood parts shipped during the winter, as I'd obsess about it sitting on the front parch in freezing temperatures too much.

SB-2 you can get a 1.65 nut width, which we all know is superior.
