this thread makes me want to take a jig saw to my std point series 1 and turn it into an Omega...

Not recommended as a D-I-Y Greg,    but FYI, it can be done... Edwin's #78-1180 schedua-topped Series I underwent this operation.

I bought the new shaller straplocks earlier this year and it's much better with the longer threaded section. I haven't though tried looping the end of the strap like Adriaan & Ed do I tend not to leave my instruments plugged in on-stage when they are on the stand after seeing far to many fall victim of stage crew tripping over leads. Probably why we see so many Les Paul's with broken headstocks.

My MK Deluxe 5

Here's the front of my old bass.

That bass sure was a looker Edwin.    Whatever became of it? The almost-twin sister to it now resides with the fellow that I got my '67 Starfire from. It was for sale a little while back but he decided to hang onto it.

I'm fan of Omega and Heart shape, here is my MK5 and Series 1 1980

The heart shaped/ stinger is a beauty. 

I don't like picking favorites, but Goran's bubinga-topped Series I Omega-cut gets my heart rate up.

Thanks you, I really wish my Balance K was actualy same shape as my Series 1, kind of like more that shape, more comfortable...

It's now residing with my friend Nick Haas in Portland, OR, who plays the heck out of it. Makes me feel better about it not being here!
