I plan on bidding on this bass unless someone else here is going to. I won't bid against a club member. Just let me know if you are and I won't bid.

so when is enough really enough? apparently, never. great score, Olie.
 
I think you need to check the Mesquite zoning regs, you may have surpassed the Alembics per capita ratio.

Michael, I sure hope not. Wait till my wife finds out how much SHE spent on me for fathers day. LOL.  
This will probably put my custom order on hold for year or so.

PS. Michael, we need to hook up and trade chops sometime.

Olie:
 
Congrats!  Very classy looking bass.  I suspect I'm not to only one looking forward to some detailed pics in Showcase.  Now take a few deep breathes.  As Tom Petty stated: The waiting is the hardest part.  Play it in good health and good luck explaining this to senior management.  LOL
 
Bill, tgo

Thanks Bill. Beleive it or not she'll probably never even notice the new bass. SHe says they all look a like to her. (hmmm does that make her a basscist  
Now I'm going to reveal my ignorance, can the Series be played without the power supply? I assume it can be used with batteries too.

Olie - Yes the series instruments can be played with batteries.  But, they won't last very long. You need to keep a look out for a power supply.
 
Once you use the series bass, you will be ruined for life.
