I still have a thing for Dan Armstrong's - narrowly missed one back in the day and have regretted it ever since...

That certainly looks the part, Ronn, but where does it fit into the Eggmen's set... ;D

Heavy but fun!
Looks like I'm not the only one who got those.
PS: The E string on the 4 is killer, the B string on the 5 is killer.

Leftybass: did you do any drilling to install Straplocs or ?
It seems Straploc screws are longer & I glue the screws in.

Mine's not gone to a show yet as it has no Straplocs(Rule # 1 No Straplocs, no gigging).
If you are truly interested in the truth, start by turning off the television.

Nah, I only have straplocks on two basses, Gibson EB-2 and Hamer B12S. Gigged a few times last week, sounded great, I was very surprised and pleased.

Neat! How heavy is that thing? What do basses with those bodies sound like?

Our 3rd set is "Brit. Invasion" stuff, I use it for that.

Quite! I figure about 12 lbs. Luckily I only use it for one set. Played a couple shows with it last week, it was very punchy with all notes up and down the fingerboard sounding very full, and that's with the sucky stock strings. I was impressed.

Yes, that's good - because two sets might bring you to your knees onstage!
