Roasted almost home NOW w/ BETTER EDITED PIC'S

Man I finally sold a guitar to fund this, 2 sales bailed and the third almost blew up because evil bay had a really old email for my paypal,it was a mess, even though I've been buying stuff with my current account for a couple of years, but man I'm glad I didn't cave, now the last hurdle is I have to wait about two weeks for a check as GC only takes PayPal online. But I'm in the home stretch and I got to play it waiting for my guy to finish up with some people. The bass beside being beautiful is an another tone monster in the model line. You can hit any style with it, I love the feel of the neck, it seemed to me to be less stiff than the reg. maple. Also I played it through a Mesa M3 Carbine and their 410. I'm selling my Ashdown 500 EVO and getting one, just total simplicity and great tone. GC has eight left on the Platinum site. And a huge Thank you to jlepre for
taking a pass on it, I know you like the satin finish, nice job brother getting it from Manhattan to Jersey. These are GC's pics of it. All I can say is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. I made them my screensavers to keep me sedated during the wait.

Wow, another whole maple roasted neck! :)

This BFR inlay and exclusive dots are stunning!

Whole bass is so beautiful that I would be afraid even to touch it!

Why are You making such a torture to us guys? :D

Keko is right. Too beautiful! Congrats and I would imagine quite the torture to wait to have it in your hands.

It really is a looker, when I was checking it out, I'd put it in a stand on the floor and it was like a magnet, anyone that came by the bass cove was commenting. But for me this going to be my number one, my little mini harem are all stunners but will all get played. Happy new Year, Rick

I just got my turquoise peral in yesterday, as soon as I figure out how to put pics up correctly I will post them, and the pictures of these roasted maples do them no justice. I cant even get a good picture to really show how amazing these all maple necks look at my place. These necks are one the best looking things MM has put out IMHO. I know you will love this bass and cant wait to see real pics.

Hey, Congrats on yours, I use photobucket to upload pics it's really simple to do. Hell I'm a geezer and I can do it. Happy New Year
