I just picked up a used Essence that I've been lusting over for a good 3 weeks at BassNW.  I finally went in and played it this afternoon and it followed me home like a lost little puppy!  Maple top and body.  Maple w/walnut stripes for the neck.  110% rock tone.  It's a fabulous instrument.  

 

 

That is a beautiful Essence congratulations

nice!

Wow, nice sunburst.

It is indeed a nice burst!  Congrats!!!

So this is the new son.  A Real cutie  Play it in good health! Enjoy!

Oh, great! (it followed me home...)
 
Next time I'll try this excuse to my wife, ha ha ha.

That bass looks so tropical and inviting. I am thinking Paradise, Pleasure and Leisure.

I own 92K6999,bought it in 93 great bass,sometimes I prefer it to my S2
