No gig last night just a brush up session for the studio. I am very happy with this bass !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I spent quite a few hours setting her up and filing saddles to get the action as low as I like. This bass is very resonant much more so that other '76s I have owned. The notes just sing  :)  Chords shimmer. Right now the only pickup in the bass is a Dimarzio Model G under a Chrome cover, works fine sounds fantastic, the Model G will be staying ;D As usual limited upper register access there are just some songs I can't use it for  :sad: but I knew that when I bought it, no breaking out the saw so rest easy, I will just have to deal with it. By far my favorite '76-'79 I have had a number of them over the years. This bass in now dubbed the Black Moria.

Sounds good! I sent $35 Paypal, but we can call that a pre-down payment on that other thing. :)
