Yesterday, I finally got my SC Signature Deluxe (SC14293). I've been lusting for one since my early days learning bass while Romantic Warrior and School Days were spinning on the turntable. To me, it was the epitome of what an electric bass could be and what Fender was hopelessly clueless about - beauty, grace, and advanced electronics. Of course, like most bassists starting out, they were out of my reach - hell, there wasn't any store near Northeast Florida where you could even see one, much less buy one. So, I went through Fender, MusicMan, Warwick, and Fodera over the years, but always knew that I wanted an SC Signature. Yesterday, I finally got it. I drove down to Bass Central (about 2 hours away) intent on either leaving with an Alembic or an order for another custom Warwick Thumb. It's impossible to capture the beauty of these instruments on film - they have to be seen, touched, and played to appreciate the quality and beauty. After playing three (Coco, Coco Deluxe, Buckeye Burl), the Macassar Ebony Deluxe came out. I was floored. 20 minutes later, it was in my car headed back north to St. Augustine. First gig tomorrow, can't wait.
