That's one beautiful Instrument!! Congrats!

Thanks so much! I can't wait! Monday now seems like such a long way off!

Been tracking the bass. It arrived at the UPS Customer Center last night at 10:43PM which is only 4 miles from my house and I can't touch it til Monday! So near yet so far! Oh the pain!! Senior Management says that we should celebrate the bass's arrival by redoing the kitchen and bathroom.  
Sound familiar, anyone? Just kidding, but I do owe her big time for her understanding of what this means to me and the culmination of a life's dream!
I am a very lucky man to have such a great wife in one hand and a great bass in the other!

Didja get it? Sorry, you can't play it till you post pics.

As of this posting, I have not seen the Brown truck yet!? Talk about sheer torture!

UPS delivers till eight, as I recall....

He must've got it.

I got it! And it is FANTASTIC!!! The pictures just don't compare. Jaws hitting the floor all around! Some do double takes, others stare for a while and them come back and stare some more. The sound is wonderful and so versatile. I can dial up a great rear pickup Jaco-esque tone and one flip of the pup selector and its Slap city! The front pickup tone is very deep and ballsy yet tight while the rear gets that great bark and growl while still being thick and full! Ebony neck lams are the best! Thats all for now. Gotta play more,more, more!

Congratulations Michael! Don't forget to come up for air now and then. Did someone mention pictures?
 
Peace
Tom

Sound clips too!

Congrats again, Michael.  I assume the agony of  waiting melted away instantly as you opened the case...    Don't forget some pictures of the new family member when you have time.

Never fear. I won't disapoint when it comes to photos. I will post in the showcase section just as soon as I find the time. By the way, has anyone had any experience with Heritage Insurance?   Mike

There are several references to Heritage in this thread.  There's also a report here and a mention here.

I've come across two companies after my renter's insurance (AIG) told me that they would not cover the instruments that I play out. They will cover an instrument as an investment as long as it stays at home.  
 
The first company is Clarion Associates - Musical Instrument Insurance. Their website is clarionins.com .
 
The second is MusicProInsurance.com .  
 
They both seem reputable. Good luck!!!!

Here's one or two quick ones to tide you over untill I can make a serious posting in the Showcase section and thanks for the insurance info Mike
