Here is my newest bass. I won't receive it until Weds but couldn't wait to post a pic. As soon as I get him home I'll post some pix of the brothers together. I am anxious to hear how the sig. elect sound verses the Euproa elect. on my other MK.  | ||

On a side note. The sales guy at Bass central commented that he'd be afraid to play a bass of this caliber and value but would love to have one to show off at home. I just laughed and said " you don't buy a horse if you're not going to ride it and you don't buy a Harley and park it in the garage". Yes all three are great to look at but so much more enjoyable when put to use. I'm a player not collector. (Message edited by olieoliver on March 14, 2006) | ||

You tell 'em Olie. These aren't trailer queens! Plus it's worth every DIME when you pull it out of the case and people's mouths fall open like they've seen a UFO. Never underestimate that big shot of pride (like an adrenalin rush) when you use it on the date. No better feeling in the world. J o e y (Message edited by bigredbass on March 15, 2006) | ||

Well the day finally came. The UPS man pulls up front opens the back of truck walks in my office and I sign his little pad. Excited I take and set the huge box on my desk ready to announce the arrival of my new baby. I slide the case from the box ever so gentley, I undo the latches, take a deep breath open the case slowly ....slowly.....and ...................................................................... !!!!!!!!THEY SENT THE WRONG BASS!!!!!!!!!!!! They sent me a MK STD. Mine is a Deluxe. OH MY GOSH. Well after talking to Beaver @ Bass Central,I've sent this bass back and I'll have mine on Monday. But it will be a real LOOOOONG weekend. | ||

ordinarily, I'd think receiving an Alembic by mistiake would be a good thing! In this case, knowing what you were expecting I'd say you'd be justified in sending it back.... "Ah, yeah, I think you sent the wrong bass. I ordered the Biggie Bottom 5 String Deelux with the cup holder and got this 'Olympic' thing instead...." Mike | ||

The funny thing is Monday when they emailed my receipt I noticed then it listed the wrong bass and called them then. They assured me they sent the correct one and just wrote the invoice wrong. Me Thinks "D'OH" also. | ||

Makes it a Romans kind of weekend, Olie - patience and perseverance, then again I'm not the one awaiting delivery. | ||

Yea, at least I have my other MK 5 to play. And it's still pretty new to me anyway. | ||

Hey Dave it gets worse. I get home tonight and check my Amex on line, they've billed me for BOTH BASSES. Double "D'OH" | ||

Olie: You're going to have a geat story to tell the grandkids someday. Paul, TBO's favorite mantra is: "there will always be another one, there will always be another one, there will always be another one, there will always be another one". In your case he is literally correct! LOL I'm sure once you get the craziness straightened out and open the box on Monday, all of this will quickly fade into the background. Bill, tgo | ||

All will fade provided I don't have to pay for both Basses. LOL. I'm not worried though. I think Beaver is more upset than I. I think he's shocked that I haven't lost my temper yet. When all is said and done I'm sure I'll do bussines with Beaver again. He's actually been real cool to deal with and as we say in the south "He' done me right so far"!!!! FAITH , HOPE, LOVE keeps it goin' on. | ||

Why not keep them both and be billed just for one? Maybe you can get away with it, now THAT would be a "D'OH". I bet those guys wouldn't notice. PTBO | ||

It should be here on Monday, If not we'll send Cheney on a hunting trip to Florida! HA | ||

It's finally here! Better than expected too. The pictures on Bass Centrals web site shows the bass with plastic covers on the rear and it shows up here with brass. COOL. | ||

No. The bass they sent first had a mahogony back this has a quilted maple. ???? |
