A good friend of mine suggested to always take your empty case with you to the music store. That way you can bring your new bass home without anyone knowing… lol

Yes, if I had to bass it on just one thing, that would the bassis of it.

It arrived today!!
I absolutely love everything about it except for one thing; the area of its body that my right arm rests on is kind of sharp and it ‘cuts’ into my forearm. My other bass is smoothed over and beveled in that area and I never think about how it’s contacting my forearm. Hopefully I’ll be able to get used to this new feel, but time will tell.

Only “9” basses T_dub? So you are not really serious about this bass thing then? 
It is scary how quickly the herd grows.

When I ordered my $89 bass from Amazon 2 years ago, I never dreamed I would have subsequently bought and sold a dozen basses. Not to mention the amps, pedals, and related software I’ve purchased.
No, you cannot just buy a bass and be done with it… that defies nature.

Two words… foam shirts.
That bass is so beautiful you should force yourself to get used to it.
Maybe you are applying too much pressure on that area.
Your arm should rest on the bass enough to stabilize it and stop the neck from moving when you fret but not harder.

Congratulations @NipperDog .
All my basses ( I have 8 but now realise I have to catch up to @T_dub ) are totally different and the Rickenbacker in particular is not particularly ergonomically friendly but give it time and you’ll hopefully adapt.

That may be the case. I’ll have to try to stop leaning so heavily on it and see if that helps.
