You certainly have a great collection of beautiful basses.

This bass was a good one. The ridiculously flamy koa and the thin shallow neck would be enough to distinguish it as an instrument, but it also sounds amazing. Thanks to Pierre years of atrophy were corrected so it looks amazing too.
I think that letting this bass go bought me a lot of karma that was used to bring home an old German upright that is my new love for very little money. I'm happy with the outcome.

All right! Did you end up buying a new case for it? I remember there was some concern over the condition of the case it arrived in.

Hi everybody ! I play this bas, it's always a great moment...
Anyone can explain to me if the 2 batteries have some utilities with cnnection to DS-5R ?
Have you explanation because this bass is lighter of my SC deluxe ?
@ Mica: What is this finish ? it's not polyesther, it's satin finish ?
Thank's

As far as I know, you can use the two batteries for playing the bass without the DS-5R.

Mica will know for sure, but I guess it is still a polyester finish. After the finish (paint) is applied, it is buffed (poli) in different ways to get either a satin or a high-gloss effect.

Adriaan is correct about the batteries. They are for use with the 1/4 jack. One thing is when you use batteries the LEDs do not light. The LEDs only work with the DS-5R.

Ok, I can remove it because I ever use DS5-R?

adriaan · « **Reply #59 on:** June 25, 2010, 07:09:30 AM »

Pierre-Yes - do you mean I never use DS5-R?

Series instruments eat batteries for breakfast - they will only last a couple of hours of play.
