It cost a lot of money, but I think it was worth it. I'm having trouble getting sound out of it, but I have to say the tuning stability is remarkable!

You need to raise those pickups!

It's ideal for a bassist looking for that foamy tone.

(hesitantly) Is it still neck-heavy?
Tom was always concerned about that, he also disliked how the TBird body bumped against his (tender) loins bruising them (foam should go a long way to alleviate that problem, trust the Gibson Custom Shop to be all creative when challenged!):

Finally a bass where your parents wouldn't have yelled "Turn that darn thing down!" - great for beginners wishing to preserve family ties.

You just can't fake the feel of nine-ply neck-thru tone foams

I notice the case says video prop!!!!! What videoand isthat yhe reason the pickups are cranked down? I was looking at yhis myself but it looked a little suspect, for what they were asking it should have been shipped in playable condition. I hope that any issues are easy fixes.

Weird that they built a flat prop like this, but added real knobs.

Gotta love those foto-finishes.
