Ah, they must have gotten white ones made with the second batch as well.

Gary, I got an invoice with bank wire transfer information. It's my understanding that they want that kind of payment.

Dave... blue MUST be lighter, take the sky for an example... nice white clouds floating round on their own, meet a few others, get darker and then dump their load, leaving rainbows and a nice blue sky, which stays up there, so logic decrees it must be lighter... QED

2 pages in a day - this is getting closer to Encyclopaedia Brittanica, and I'm not helping...

Presume your north of Athens oh "exiled" one... that much closer for Roman to deliver to...  ;D

I could just imagine rockin' out in Epidavros... (wouldn't let me post in Greek)

5kg ...  :o (ok -11lbs over there) don't leave her by the window, she'll blow away, not...

My '68 II was just under 9 pounds. Sounds like Bach got that right as well.

Nop, I live at south. My friends from the north (closer to roman) haven't got anything yet. Greek post suck big time!

I could just imagine rockin' out in Epidavros... (wouldn't let me post in Greek)

Epidavros could be a great place for rock'n'roll, if people were open-minded enough to allow these type of shows there. There was an urban legend about Pink Floyd wanted to play there, but I think that's bullshit.

As I said, I can't trust my scale, but this bass is light. In comparison, my Epi Tbird seems like it weights a ton!

They made 10 white, 10 black, 10 blue

They want bank wire transfer (with IBAN and SWIFT and all that jazz...)

Seriously guys, where can I find a gigbag for that bass? I tried one that is made for f*****s but it won't fit. For just a little. Damn!

I don't know if it will fit, but this looks like it might do the trick.
Just ask Thomann to measure it up for you.

But are you sure you don't want a case for this beast?

I got the teaser email too.  I send emails now every couple of days - "Hi!  Me again"... "Oh hai!  I'd like TH-1 now, k?"...

So far, though, just a big...




Great pics, exiled!
