Congrats Doc! Shes a beauty! Not many of them left from what I was told was an initial build of 400. Sometime in the middle '90s, a local music store bought one of the early LP basses thinking I'd jump all over it. I tried it out & just didn't like the neck. This bass however, passed the 15 second test, luckily, because I bought it on line without trying one out. I hope you enjoy yours as well!
