I just sent out the funds today-it should arrive early next week.  It's a Series I, S/N 75-246.   Specs: Lacewood top, maple body, peroba rosa back, maple/walnut neck, ebony fingerboard. 34" long scale Zebrawood peghead lams  Pretty standard, but cool nonetheless. I can't wait!  Thanks again to John (811952) who got me started on this whole thing by letting me play his Series late last year.  Some pics:

Aside from the overall beauty of the bass, I love that headstock; congrats.

Thanks, guys.
 
I can't wait for it to get here-I'm not too worried about it making the trip from CA, as it's coming in an ATA case, so all should be well there.
 
It feels great to join the family after almost a year's time, and it should be well worth the wait!

There's nothing standard about a Series bass.
 
Congratulations!

Thanks again!
 
I do have one question-will this bass fit well in a generic hardcase, or do I need something special due to the wide lower bout? I can't haul the flight case around where I go to school, and I've been looking into some more light-duty cases that I can carry with less trouble.
 
Any recommendations outside the standard G&G affair?

I was going to suggest Hiscox if they're available in the states but you may have problems getting something to fit due to the point.
 
congratulations on a superb bass BTW.

I've got a Hiscox that I use for my other bass.
I've even got super gig bags, but the problem seems to rest with the Point----it just doesn't fit in to anything standard

It will take a larger gig bag or case.  I'm about ready to look into skb keyboard cases to see if a long-scale SI point might fit one..

I'm also fan of the headstock-it seems to be birdseye Zebrawood, almost.  
 
I'll see what the deal is with the ATA case when it arrives-if I can fit it on a small luggage cart, I might just hold on to it, but I'll make sure to take some measurements and see what's on the mass market that'll fit.

As I told you on the BassTalk forum you're going to love the bass!! And this forum too ... but with 73 posts you already know that!

The bass should ship out tomorrow-it took the payment a little longer to clear than expected, but it's no big deal.
 
The seller's also including a Reunion Blues bag for the bass, so I don't need to find a case.
 
I'll make up a proper thread in the intro section when it gets here and I have some pics.
