How much are you asking for it? Will that price include shipping? Will you put the box in a box, or will you just ship the box?

Does that mean you'll discount the price?

Good one. That is a beautiful bass, thanks for sharing the pictures.


Aren't you glad you took it out of the box?

Have you decided on a name yet?

ok, some first impressions....
pros:
very nicely made, accurate lacquer-job and a smooth fret-work.
knobs turn like butter so do the tuning-pegs. the tone-knob-spectrum allows full range, trebles drift off without affecting the low mids and basses, great!
i like the rencontre between '51-style and the tech upgrade of '11... great job at fender!
the action is gonna be overworked a bit.

cons:
the hsc is a tank and way too big for my personal use, i'd rather have the john mayer-style gig-bag. http://www.fclefbasses.com/Article128.html
don't feel so comfortable with the factory-strings and the string-spacing poses a little problem; the notches in the saddles do not allow an equal spacing, one can see it in the close-up front-pic: from d- to g-string the spacing becomes slightly different, next notch will bring it to close and the string will move to far from the fretboard-edge. any suggestion?

question of sound i'll answer tomorrow after rehearsal with the ampeg, for now i run it through a session rockette 30 guitaramp... sounds pretty well but my neighbors must go nuts! :mrgreen:

What a cool looking bass! I like it and wish I could try one. I know I'm done buying guitars for awhile though. Too bad for me 'ey?

The box though-- you never know when you'll need one of those.
