Austin, make sure you take pictures of you unboxing your bass when you get it & post them on here so we can all share in your enjoyment when you get to touch this magnificant instrument for the first time!

I did, thanks!
 
Sorry, but we had to send your bass back to finish, but it got the extra coat it needed and should get to do the rub out again next week.

Successful rubout!

It's glowingly beautiful.  
 
Next week, the setup. Will keep you posted!

I saw it at the shop on Monday, but Mica beat me to posting a picture. It is gorgeous in person.

Strings now!
 

 
Fitting the pickup next week. There's some stuff hanging off the bridge, but I was so happy I could walk up to it and pluck on a string tonight.
