When it rains it pours! Just came in today, I stopped by tonight and took some quick pics. I can get a price for you if you like.

 I didn't have time to plug it in, maybe in the next day our so. I don't expect much no matter what the pups are, there's just no mass to the body. Pretty sure it is a 34" scale. I'll stick with Tbirds. Makes me want to chrome out my cherry bird!

 The only thing keeping me from that new cherry fin 'Bird is that I own a Nikki Sixx Mk. II - chromed out. It's an expensive proposition regardless of who's new pups you use. The big LP is another matter I'm still considering - I think that bass in black is SEX!

Internet Explorer has an Accelerator "Tarnslate with Bing" which the above translates to:

"Sigh, I would like to please even the V-Waffe have, Mr Dasson."

Makes sense to me...not.

I like how close to the neck the front pickup is. I'm curious about the scale length....

The bridge sure looks closer to the body end than the original Flying V Bass.
