All set for your Metallica cover band then?

Not to mention the spacious case which is also good for a specimen of about 99.9% of all existing solid body basses on earth - or even two of them!

Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

Nice...

UK team I used to follow (gave up sport f0llowing in '89) use a crossed-hammers as their logo, but a certain Steve Harris has that covered... ;)

I have a Parker Fly Bass (always loved the shape of these) with the "carbon stocking" over the wood content on the neck. It's not a bad idea, giving the bass the uncanny tone eveness of a graphite neck (every note, no matter where played, has the same character, like a keyboard almost) with some wood warmth. That bass is totally assertive but not quite as brutal as my Status Stealth II. In comparison, the Epi Explorer is a cuddly bear oozing warmth.


Congrats on the Epi Explorer.  I was never a fan of the shape until I player one. SO much more comfortable than it looks.  Total opposite of a Flying V, which looks cool but IMO feels totally foreign and is fairly impractical.

Speaking of the Parker Bass, I actually played the original prototype bass back when Ken Parker had the first half dozen prototypes over at Korg USA/Marshall.  The original bass was very close to the original guitar body size and shape and neck heavy....probably why they waited years to unveil a bass version. In hindsight, I should have bought the damn original prototype though when I had the chance.

Thanks. I never liked wearing a Flying V either.
