I carried it. They made me a deal on a hard case. No problem getting through customs.

I was drinking coffee at the time and did a spit take…good thing it wasn’t at the computer or the vast amount of basses

it’s a tall bass. I was comparing the height to some of the others and I think the only one to rival it is the Thunderbird

Nice looking family @athosmr2003! How are you liking the Moolah bass?

IT’s surprisingly comfortable to play due to how light it is. There’s a little bit of neck dive but it’s not much of a problem…the neck is much longer than the body. I have to keep the tone control low though because it has a LOT of sustain and rings like a Christmas bell. The thing I like best about it though is that I can sit with it comfortably on my leg because the top of the S fits nicely.

Another StingRay for the win!! Have you chosen a battery based on tone and internet opinion yet? Lol
I know you’ve already modded it in your head/Amazon cart already. What’s the plan?
