Today I took delivery at the Mothership (I live in Oakland, so the drive isn't too far). Of course when I first saw her I was practically speechless.  I had band rehearsal almost as soon as I got home and my bandmates immediately commented on her robust, room filling sound.
 
She's already awesome but once I sit down and really learn the Signature electronics, this thing is gonna attract alien visitation!!!!
 
Much thanks to Mica, Susan, Ron and the entire crew as well as to Beaver Felton and his team at Bass Central.  Everyone involved made this go as smoothly as possible.

Hey Sam - now I can put your face (and playing) together with the bass! Sounded great at the NorCal gathering!!! Looking forward to hearing it again...

Harry, likewise!  A pleasure meeting you as well.  Both your basses are exquisite.  Great tone on your 5-string thru that SVT....We should definitely jam and trade licks!
