Wow, enjoy it!  I like the back as much as the front.  The Omega is stunning.  Great woods!

Many thank's ! I receive today my bass by ups. But it is to my mother's home, I will take and discover it tomorow.
This morning, I changed the strings on my short scale Stanley, and  tuned it a,d,g,c.
No problem with nut or bridge, all was perfect, nothing to change great sound !!!
My 5 strings would be tune maybe e,a,d,g,c.

That is a beautiful instrument!  What is the blue detail at the 21st fret?  Another LED?
 
By the way, Pierre-Yves, you will find the side LEDs to be an amazing assist if you are playing on a dark stage.  One where the lighting is high out front, but dimmer back where the drummer, keyboard, bassist are.
 
Peace,

malthumb, I will be never at back, but in front !
My project is Tribute to Stanley Clarke.
The blue one is an inlay of mother of blue pearl.

Thank's ! Tonight, I change original strings (BEADG) for the set EADGC, using a 6 string set 105,085,065,045,030.
Nothing to change !!! (bridge or nut).
It sound great, like my SC, no buzz. Certainly I will wait for the wood work, but I believe there is no problem.
Tomorrow I will show pictures from my bass at home.

Here  they are. Look at the tailpiece, not at the center, as usual for my basses....
