Here is my newest bass. I won't receive it until Weds but couldn't wait to post a pic. As soon as I get him home I'll post some pix of the brothers together. I am anxious to hear how the sig. elect sound verses the Euproa elect. on my other MK.

Thanks guys. I the love 3D look of the Quilted maple. This will also be my first axe with LEDs.

On a side note. The sales guy at Bass central commented that he'd be afraid to play a bass of this caliber and value but would love to have one to show off at home. I just laughed and said  you don't buy a horse if you're not going to ride it and you don't buy a Harley and park it in the garage. Yes all three are great to look at but so much more enjoyable when put to use.  
I'm a player not collector.

You tell 'em Olie.  These aren't trailer queens!
Plus it's worth every DIME when you pull it out of the case and people's mouths fall open like they've seen a UFO.  Never underestimate that big shot of pride (like an adrenalin rush) when you use it on the date.
 
No better feeling in the world.

Hey Joey, I like that UFO analogy, Unbelievably Funkin?-Out, bass.

Well the day finally came. The UPS man pulls up front opens the back of truck walks in my office and I sign his little pad. Excited I take and set the huge box on my desk ready to announce the arrival of my new baby. I slide the case from the box ever so gentley, I undo the latches, take a deep breath open the case  slowly ....slowly.....and ......................................................................
!!!!!!!!THEY SENT THE WRONG BASS!!!!!!!!!!!!  
They sent me a MK STD. Mine is a Deluxe. OH MY GOSH. Well after talking to Beaver @ Bass Central,I've sent this bass back and I'll have mine on Monday. But it will be a real LOOOOONG weekend.

Somebody say a dirty word for me would ya!

ordinarily, I'd think receiving an Alembic by mistiake would be a good thing! In this case, knowing what you were expecting I'd say you'd be justified in sending it back....
Ah, yeah, I think you sent the wrong bass. I ordered the Biggie Bottom 5 String Deelux with the cup holder and got this 'Olympic' thing instead....

The funny thing is Monday when they emailed my receipt I noticed then it listed the wrong bass and called them then. They assured me they sent the correct one and just wrote the invoice wrong. Me Thinks  D'OH also.
