Finally home from my trip to Iowa and opened the package up. The blue looks better to me in person, not SO bright. Looks fantastic! Thanks, John!
The invoice from BaCH was still in the case (which is very cool and very huge) and I'd forgotten how inexpensive those basses were! Just after I joined LBO I bought the last black one and by then they were a little more expensive. It makes me wonder just how much money BaCH made on each one.
