Okay, it is here and it is wonderful. Gizzorge, it actually is not the one you sent back. The only blemish is a couple checks in the body finish. They don't bother me a bit and I actually think it makes it look a little bit cooler

The sunburst is absolutely perfect. It looks exactly like the burst on my '64 Jazzmaster. With the 1.5" nut width, I always figured they would feel cramped to play, but it doesn't at all. I've only been able to plug it in for a few minutes, but it sounds great unplugged. It is really resonant. I think this might be my new favorite

I thought of you when I decided to try to get it. And now I'm sitting here thinking, "Damn, Alfred knew this all along!"

Always good to have another member in Club VI.

I'll just say that my tag line for a while was, "Bass VI: instrument of destiny" ... ...

that's the thing I always find amazing that with a A neck and six bass strings (to me) the Bass VI feels less cramped than my rick 360. I got a feeling it is because they are thicker bass strings , your fingers seem to know where they are easier than with 6 guitar strings

Thanks!

I remembered your old tag

My only regret is that I waited so long to try to get one.

Thanks Dirk

Yours is gorgeous too. I think there is probably a faily large concentration of VIs on the board by now, and that is cool!!

I think you're right. There isn't enough space between strings to fumble around and hit the board instead. If feels really natural so far. I use my little Musicmaster bass quite a bit too, so I'm already used to the 30" scale.
