Dad got the preamp happy (it was very mean to him!) and it's getting installed now. I think we might actually be done this week and shipping next week. Fingers crossed!

Photographing this bass has been a huge challenge. I managed to get this one:

done!

which I like, but it still doesn't compare. After over almost 200 images, rearranging furniture and drafting many helpers, I had to give it to Mary so she could get it in the big box. Our plan is Monday leaving, that puts it to you on Thursday, is that a good day to receive?

Thursday should be cool. I'm out of town until the following Monday or so, but my roommates are there and I can easily have it arranged to be couriered to my studio where it will be safe and sound until I can get to it.
let me know if everything is okay!

Mica is right (of course). The pictures don't do it justice.

I saw that bass on my factory tour this April. Although it was not complete at that time It looked very impressive.

I want to play it. :-)

Enjoy, good sir. You deserve 6 months off to do nothing but play that bass. You've waited a lifetime for it.
