A few more shots:  

 

  I'm running my bass through a F1-X, Crest LT-1500 power amp and 2 Aguilar GS-112 enclosures.  I'm having a blast learning the Signature electronics and the 3-way Q switches on my own but I'm open to any favorite settings you other Signature owners may have (hint, hint!)  Thanks!

Nice pictures man!! Your bass looks awesome. The ebony fingerboard without the oval inlays looks great too, really simple and elegant.

Thanks, Chris!  All but one of my other basses have position markers and I was secretly afraid I'd be lost without them.  I usually sit kinda' hunched over when I play and have never relied on side dots because the visual angle is off center, if you know what I mean. It turns out those worries were unfounded. She plays more easily and intuitively than my previous #1 bass of 10 years....

Nice pics of a beautiful bass!!

Thanks, Dave.  Your Essence basses are killer -- especially that lethally beautiful 6.  I'm amazed at the girth of that great Alembic tone (or should I say tones).  I'm in heaven.

Hey, Mica!
My maniac Chapman Stick/Z-tar/Guitar playing bandmate insists I look into the possibility of including an interface on my bass that will work with the new Roland V-bass.  Any thoughts as to the 1) Feasibility  2) Cost  3) Are we too far along already in the construction process to even consider this?  Just curious....
