I've only had headphone time so far, but I'm digging it for sure.  As you know, I've used Chromes on other Thunderbirds previously and think they're the best flats to suit.  This bass has plenty of mids, and can get nice and thumpy with the tone rolled off and the neck pickup soloed.  I spent 2 hours with this bass last night practising new songs with headphones, and I'm very happy with it.  Picked up a generic rectangular case today for $69 that fits it just fine (my Hiscox P/J/Stingray/Ric 4001 case was a fraction too narrow.

Glad your digging it.  I'll eventually get around to posting some sounds.  My pickup collaborator is going to be here next month and that's high on the to do list.

Re cases, for US customers I'm supplying modded Musician's gear hard shell cases (extra form fitting padding), with JAEbird stencil logo for $75.  The bass also fits in a standard size gig bag.

Oooh!  I'd be happy to proudly wear a JAEbird logo on my case.  Is there any chance I could get a stencil?

I'll see what I can do, I'm still working out the details.  As of now I have one case order going out in around a month so I need to get on it.  Maybe a decal would be better.

My new $69 eBay case fits the JAEbird perfectly!

I'm using a similar case with added rigid foam blocks and foam padding under the neck at the heel and tail.   'Bird is now trussed up like a Thanksgiving turkey, zero movement.  Have to get to a fabric store for some matching fabric and finish the job.  That and the JAEbird USA stencil.

This case is from Musician's Friend.  I'll post when it's finished.  It's a $75 option from me.

That bass without pup rings looks so wrong. But the color is killer!

Thanks!  I was setting it up,  those are the dummy covers.  The finish is the customer's University color matched to a coffee mug.  It has more yellow in it than Fiesta Red, very orange.  Here it is before pick guard installation.




And ready to fly to Salisbury, NC...
