serial number/build sheet [03MJ13182]

[Spoilers!]

Here's an overlay Mica sent me while we were planning my custom build.  My eyeball/yardstick measurements of my '82 Spoiler put it right at 14" wide, so this should still give an idea of how an Essence compares to an MK.

hey Spoilers!
thanks for that page, bet it was fun working with Mica.
hope your build is everything you imagined.
just received my '03MK it measures 15 1/2" so getting wider.
still comfy though can't really anchor my right thumb against the end of the fretboard as usual, but the pickup edge serves.
saw that this is considered a 'large' body-do they go any wider still?

will have to get a group photo now.

really appreciate everyone's time!

The widest would be the original Balance shape, which was a precursor to the Balance-K shape which in turn has proven quite popular. My Balance-K 6 string comes in at 15" at its widest

Hey Tim... glad to hear you new bass arrived, play it in good health.

I have a Balance-K 5-string which is a bit over 14" at its widest, suspect that a Balance-K 4-string would be even narrower.

The limit is 1,000 kB {which is slightly under 1 MB). There are different approaches to reducing the file size, besides changing to a lower resolution, like image size or compression.

thanks Adriaan, and I should've known better than to start with a 91.5mb file
