courtesy of JefferyB, who I bought this beast from, it came in the mail today, I just attatched the neck and strings, looks and plays amazing, nice low action!
That colour should be called "Las Vegas Special". The intro tune they used to play before Elvis took to the stage ran through my head as soon as I saw that thing. Holy moley, that is one friggin' loud bass!
Very cool though.
I would absolutely use that to play funky stuff in my current band. Of course, I wouldn't gig the local biker bar with that bass.
