Congrats, it's a beauty! I just took delivery of my custom Balance K Signature Deluxe a couple of weeks ago, and I absolutely love it, as I know you must love yours! Looks, sounds, and balances great! Congrats! |

Welcome to the club Thibault. Seems there have been quite a few balance k sig deluxes winging their way around the world of late. The top on yours is particularly beautiful. Graeme |

Many thanks for all your comments. It's a while that I was searching for the right model on internet. I saw this one 3 or 4 weeks ago and I immediatly loved the top and known that whatever the price I will buy it...life is short. I was impressed by the finition and details, the leds are cool too ;] I have now to find my sound, I will use it almost only for slap as I am usually a fretless player. It's very easy to play, speed and clear, I am sure to have a lot of fun with this great bass. |

my french is limited to high school classes... I have to say I enjoy the phrase 'Bon Slap' ! (...don't remember that being in the tests) I love that shape (Balance K?) ,with the cocobolo it is very sexy. cheers |

Elwood, hee hee, you're not trying. Surely, this needs no translation: "Ta basse est vraiment superbe!" Or this: "Le grain du bois est splendide!" I've never been good with languages, and I have a hard enough time with English, but even I can tell that he likes the bass! |
