Series I update:
The thing is great...much lighter than I expected and the narrow taper neck is even better than the one on my Custom Orion. The Series electronics are easier to use than I expected, but repeatability of settings will be tough. The big standard point body is growing on me and the lack of tummy/elbow cut aren't the detriment I'd thought they'd be as the body depth is relatively slim. I'm a big guy so the bass doesn't swim on me, and I can pretend I'm early 70's Lesh or Casady when I pose in front of the mirror with it on, LOL! Notice I said PRETEND, LOL! You can be one ugly MO and no one will notice when your wearing this beast...it's size, shape and 5A Quilt top command all the attention.
The top mount jacks, the outboard power supply and requisite cable, and the substandard yet expensive OHSC are the only minuses, IMHO. I was actually a little surprised at the relative lack of standard features (mostly aesthetic) on such an expensive bass, but I guess that's why the Series I starts at around $11k and the Series II goes for $15k.
