Thanks All.
I have already logged about 5 hours of plugged-in time on the new bass. Had to make myself put it down long enough to eat something and then go to bed last night.
In addition to how close this bass is
physically to my Persuader, it responds
sonically in a very similar way too, which I guess isn't all that surprising considering how many attributes of the Persuader were carried straight over to the design of the Custom. I mean... that was really the main thing here, so from that standpoint it was a seamless transition.
One of the differences I did notice between the two; while the fundamental notes seem to ring with equal strength, the harmonics all up and down the scale of this Custom are just off-the-charts. Whether from newer (T-I) strings, or more likely the sustain block, or some combination of both, I don't know, but wow... that first couple minutes just tuning up was really something!
Forgive the rambling... I'm still at that stage where I hear and see a little more detail each time I pick this thing up. (Mica will appreciate this) I just noticed for the first time this morning, even the Cocobolo faces on the headstock have a little birds-eye figuring!
