Congrats to him!  I'll bet it's a good one.

Yeah, really looking forward to it. I'm checking the track 'n trace about every 5 minutes  8)

I'm curious about how it sounds through the Vox AC-50, I bought from Chris P. a couple of years ago. I'll post some pics when it has arrived.

I was wondering (I can't seem to clear this from the pictures) is this bass long scale or short scale?

The bridge looks like it is further towards the butt than on an EB-2.

According to this, it's "not a shortscale" if my translation is correct. It may not be 34 in. though.

My '87 SA-B was 34" scale

While the long scale is historically not correct for an EB-2, it does kinda suit the guitar. Curious what mine would be (probably 34").

The guitar has arrived in Amsterdam! In a couple of days...

If so the sound will be a bit tighter, which is good imho. For a guitar player it's a bit harder to play, maybe, and it could have some neckdive issues. But we shall see. Call me when it's in:)

This morning DHL stopped by, but I didn't have the tax money with me, they'll stop by this afternoon. Looking at the box, the DHL guy was holding, I would say it's short scale.
