 I have been so busy I have not had time to get pics up, sorry Uwe! I was able to snap a few this AM :) Let me know when you want this shipped!

Gotta admit that I like the color.  Blue basses and cars find my weak spots.

I think it's friccken cool!

But thru the good offices of Herr Hornug I got to try the shorty T Bird - I'm just not a short scale kind of girl  ;)

Scott, any word on the big Les Paul Basses?

The HOG has one sunburst but Uwe wants a gold top, still waiting on that one.

Sehr schön, jawohl. I liked those from the moment I first saw them even though I'm no doublecut/Junior diehard. "Plain Jane" shape to me, but I guess the simplicity of the design makes it appealing to others.

No shipping before you've gigged it! And a sonic report of course. But don't play Zeppelin tracks with it, please. Spoils the instrument.  :vader:

Tis here, Scott, danke. Sure looks cute. A Daisy Bass from Gibson.  :gay:

There's something attractive about it and the blue is really nice.  What's the neck like?

The color looks great in real life, I've only taken it out of the case for a few seconds as I am on a business trip but the neck felt neither baseballbattish nor thin, just right.

Yeah it's in one piece! I would agree with Uwe the neck has a little beef to it but not awkward or uncomfortable. Felt like a '65 EB3 I used to have. By comparison Bill your '67 EBO should have a thinner neck.

Yeah, the neck on the EB-0 is perfect for me.  I'm gonna polish it up as soon as I have time and take it to practice.
