Got mine Tuesday.  It weighs 8.2 lbs, not bad at all.  Neck is a nice profile but the G string wants to fall off the nicely rounded over board.  Narrowing the spacing at the nut slightly may help that.  Frets are good but I can't figure out how to get a wrench onto the truss rod.  Pretty sure I'm going to do a total clear nitro refin and keep it.



Nice! How does it sound?

I think I may be permitted a chuckle over this acquisition.

It saved me from getting weak and grabbing it.  ;)

Like it needs a setup and different strings.  I've always liked the sound of the DiMarzio P, so it should be acceptable even though it's a little south of where I'd have put it.  Maybe the bass boost switch addresses that.

I'm glad you did, it's a very interesting bass at the least.  Too bad they folded.
