Congrats! A thing of beauty. A very merry Christmas indeed.
Now lets see if you can shake some of the snow off that tree.
Cool!!!!!!!! Is that your 1st 5 string? I don't know how people can live without one!! You know what they say?
Once you go five string there's no turning back!!! Ok, that's what i say.
GO LOW!!!STAY HIGH!!!ON BASS THAT IS!!!
Very nice, Ditto. Enjoy!!!
Always remember to enjoy where you're at on the way to where you're going!!!
She's a beaut! Love the natural finish. Don't forget to name your new baby!

Beautiful!!!!
Wow! That's great Ditto. I can only imagine that lowlowlow B string. Good Lord that must feel good.
The headstock and neck look especially beautiful.
Wow! How cool is that???
Welcome to the "5'r" club.
The B on a long scale bass is something to hear, especially if you have the rig to properly reproduce it!!!!

Thanks all,
YEA, My first one and I play a MESA BOOGIE 600 watt amp, I was hitting that low B and the THUNDER was amazing. My kids bedroom is right above the garage and they came out saying WHOA! It is a penetrating low.
I have tried playing our set of songs but it will take some getting used to. The strings are very far apart comparred to the Fender JAZZ. I don't know any songs that require a 5 as we converted everything. I did start running scales from the B.
The neck and headstock are why I bought this one. The Birdseye Maple is awesome looking. The string through body bridge makes the sustain so long, I hit that LOW B and it rings forever.... AND IT IS ACTIVE! The punch is heart stopping
