I would have to consider leaving this bass at home instead of gigging it, I would be so scared it got marked or dinged.
Awesome colour and the chrome hardware looks a great contrast to the finish.

It's on Texas soil! The long awaited Out for delivery notice!
 

Just got an email from Guitar Rez, my bass was just delivered!

Hey Rusty, just noticed that w-i-d-e ebony stringer -  
Let 'er roar, Rusty, Let 'er ROAR!
 
All the best to you and your expanding family,
 
Ed

ENJOY!!!

Sitting in front of Guitar Rez waiting for the doors to open!

Hah!

Did you camp out in a tent? Lol.

Okay, it's been five hours since Rusty's last post. Does 9-1-1 take from 200 miles away?

I'm guessing he's in a state of shock.  It's also difficult to type when playing...or drooling.

Russsssstttttyyyyyyy where are youuu?

I'm Baaaaaaaaaack!!! Sorry to keep everyone waiting but I literally just got home from Austin. I spent 2 hours at Guitar Rez playing & drooling & the the drive home was 4 hours with traffic, so I'm finally home but haven't had a chance yet to play it through my amp to really see what it sounds like. My initial reaction is I LOVE IT!!!!!!!! I will give a detailed reply after I ve played it through my amp, but I will say this, the amazing marbling if the Quilted Maple in conjunction with the gorgeous blue paint does a very good job hiding the drool!!! Stay tuned......film at 11 :-)

that blue is so impressive!

I know how you feel, bass brother.

Rusty, I can attest to the fact that amber-tinted quilted maple also hides drool.  
 
lol  
 
Gorgeous bass.  Enjoy!
 
Bill, tgo
