HERE IS MY NEW LEFTY GIBSON USA T-BIRD! GIBSON DID A GREAT JOB WITH FRETS AND FINISH1 THE NEW BRIDGES ARE GREAT BUT YOU MUST REMOVE THE 1/8'' SPACER AT BOTTOM OF BRIDGE TO GET GREAT LOW ACTION AND A NICE ANGLE. SET THE NECK TO .010'' RELIEF IN PLAYING POSITION. BASS KICKS ASS!

Curious. What's everyone running for pedals? I switch back and forth between the Ampeg SCR-DI and the Behringer Sansamp clone. I'm running my Pro IV through a mini-mega and a pair of Hydrive 4x10's. The Ampeg sounds thin in a band situation, while the Behringer is nice and thick but seems quite dark. Any other suggestions. Mostly playing classic rock, old school r&b.

My signal chain goes Line 6 G30 wireless receiver > TC Electronic PolyTune > TC Electronics Spectra Comp (IIRC, I'm using the Nathan East toneprint ATM), TC Electronics Corona Chorus (I forget what toneprint it is right now; I think it may be the Frank Bello) > MXR M85 Bass Distortion. The tone and the distortion level cranked down quite a bit. Currently using the Pig Hog daisy chain power supply but I'm looking at options, like the new Warwick Rockboard rechargeable P/S. I'm using their Rockboard Bender 75 patch cables, which are great, and it' all on a Pedaltrain Mini. This set up covers all my bases, but the toneprint technology allows ridiculous flexibility in the tones you can get and the adjustable parameters are mind blowing.

Congrats on your new bass - Looks great, but there's no need to SHOUT about it... ;)

PS. I'm seriously impressed you know what a wobbegong is.

I did mention I used to dive...

Also, I'm fascinated by sharks, though I've never seen a Wobbegong IRL...

But to stay on topic, I did see a Guitarshark and several Basses while diving on the Yongala wreck by the Barrier Reef years ago... :)
