It's a Series bass. You'll want a case. Trust me.

second the motion on need of a case

It's coming with an Anvil flight case as well-I just don't feel like walking everywhere with it, which is pretty much my situation while I'm at school.

For proper travel, I'll use the Anvil.

I can't wait.

It might surprise the Fedex guy a little if I greeted him with those.

On the other hand, the bass/case combo weighs nearly 70 pounds as shipped-I think the unlucky soul who has to haul it up to the porch might appreciate a little something extra.

ETA is Wednesday. The seller has the original wood card/documentation somewhere, so I might be receiving that in the near future as well.

ya...I remember my first woody too!

It's here, and it's incredible-it's everything I was expecting and more. This one will be with me for a long, long time.

There's pics in the Showcase and Introductions threads.

I'm very fond of Zebrawood and that head stock is really over the edge. Congrats!

I'm enjoying the heck out of this thing. It's truly the bass sound I had in my head.

This one will need the electronics upgrade eventually, but I can live with it for now, and the case needs some work, but those are minor issues.

I'm really glad I sprung for it.

Chris, if you haven't done so already, go here and follow the procedure for adjusting the hum cancelling trim pots to reduce noise.

82daion · « **Reply #27 on:** September 02, 2007, 10:33:09 PM »

Dave, thanks for the link-I have adjusted the humcancelling pots and have most of the noise alleviated, but there's still some nasty HF content that I can't seem to eliminate, especially from the bridge pickup. The symptoms match Mica's qualifications for the upgrade exactly, and there's not much I can do about it at the moment, but the hum isn't audible when playing, so it's not that big an issue for now.
