New in 11-10. I ordered it from my local Guitar Center. Since it came right from the factory, it didn't sit out where youngsters would paw it up.

Feel & tone? Well, this thing has that vibe you like to feel all the way through when you're playing it plugged in or not. Amped up, it has that lovely Precision growl. I am working with the B-string...it's a finess thing to get it to sound right. Tone-wise; right outta the box it's nicer than my 2002 MIA 4-string.

I really would have loved to have black w/ rosewood but that's not an option unless I blow the Christmas bonus & go CS. Depending upon which kind of band I join, I'll change out the pickguard. Here's the pics:

Wow, that's a beauty! Congrats on the new bass!


Thanks.

I was convinced I wanted a MM Stingray, or a Big Al. When I played them, and I ran the rack several times, even trying G & L's, none of them had that 'thing' going on. Not that the aformentioned basses were bad, they just did not appeal to what my sense of tone is.

Must be the 50+ years of hear Fender basses on the radio & all over pop music. An unfair advantage of legacy?

Congrats on a very nice bass. Little to zero chance you'll have any reason to be disappointed.

Enjoy!

If you noticed, it was just a small picture. I didn't want you to go blind.
