It looks wonderful! Damn, Joe did good! It is prettier than mine. He brought mine ready to play. He did a set up and leveled the frets and it played great out of the box. I know he probably did that to yours. That neck is so pretty.

Okay I’ve tuned her up and tried her out, neck is so smooth, and with a 14" radius is super fast. Nice profile, not super thin, but has enough meat to grab onto without being chonky. Frets are perfectly dressed.

The pickup is hot. I have to back off the volume a bit or I would be booming. The pickup is punchy, she would hold her own in a mix.

Downsides.

Not sure about the Fender rounds. Will try it with Thomastik-infelds. Also she picks up everything. Time to bring my muting up to a new level. Probably time to restart B2B and do my own commit.

To think I almost pulled the trigger on a gold foil. If you are looking for a bass, I would recommend Joe Cucci

Joe is the best…What was the pickup you used again? The SD?

Yeah, it’s a Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound

Yeah, those damn things could punch through a wall with volume and attack. And you are right, your muting has to be spot on. I did turn down my tone control along with the TI flats to get that under control. The TI’s on it will turn it into absolute perfection.

Ok she’s a looker. Forget this chilling nonsense, grab it and rock out!

Can always adjust the pickup down a bit.

The only thing holding me back from taking a bass family picture is my lack of a good rug. In fact I don’t even have a rug at the moment.

My thing that tied the room together was a small lamp. It was on top of an amp in a pic I took. Do you have a small lamp?

Mine outgrew all the rugs in my house.

Forget the rug. Go for it, @Shibata. Let’s see your beauties on display. It should be eye-poppingly good. :star_struck:
