It's a very slippery slope Scott, first it's pants, then it's panties - then........  ;D

You kill me Scott!  And I thought I was a big bass ho!  I think the Flying V does look more like a throwback Viking weapon than a bass!  At least you could protect yourself on stage from unruly fans.  I'll have to stop by and see it sometime.

 The Flying V shape for bass is awkward at best. Imho There has never been a truly useful Flying V bass, this is about as close as it gets. It is well executed and I like the pickups hardware and finish choice. Plus it was a good deal, Bill surely you can appreciate that ;)

Crossdressing and Flying Vs obviously go together.

Ah yes, the "great bargain" argument.  That's always a winner with my wife!  We call her "Bargain Barbie!"  It's rubbed off on me over the last 30 years!

 Coilex and dredlocks, I have them made for me by my stylist - I get the pieces from Germany and the States. As always I think of it kind of like Kabuki, a little larger than life and theatrical - I don't want our audience forgetting me or the band  ;D

 Disappointing. Case damaged in shipment, the bass has a greasy film all over it (wtf?) defiantly a restock, case candy missing. And to top it off on the bass side of the neck where the neck and finger board meet the neck is thicker than the fingerboard, they are not flush. Back it goes
