Finally an Explorer like it should be, maho, long scale and TB Plus. You don't need more for a good rock bass. Amen.

It's like they finally listened to what I said all along!

I think we still all deserve a pic of Fräulein Rommel with that bass, don't you think? Agreed then.

Mark, you are herewith unconditionally instructed to order the beast on my behalf, the usual regulations apply, i.e. I paypal you, you receive and play (pictorial evidence), leave copious amounts of DNA material on the bass and, after some weeks, send her onwards to ze Reich!!!

Will you do as told and is your paypal address still the same?
Hey, I never said I was anything less than an impulsive buyer!   :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Uwe

PS: And for once in your life you will be able to play a high E - not like with your other silly basses!

Yes!!! It looks great!!! Finally some t bird pickups in an explorer!!! But again...I deallly...I would love one in Korina...with Chrome Orville Pickups and an old school t bird tuneomatic bridge!!! Or maybe...a nice Tahiti Coral on it!!!! No seriously. This is how they should be making those basses!!! Not those schaller bridges and whatever crappy pickups they had before. Congrats!!!

Grabber pups they were. Undernourished, middish Grabber cheapo pups. And then medium scale. Not to mention maple necks and alder (sometimes maho) bodies ... brrrr ...  :-\

That could be a cool bass, if that color was ditched in favor of natural mahogany. :)
