Congrats dude! That is a stunning top, and the pics REALLY are great. It is hard to photograph the finish... but you did a heck of a job!

Play her in good health, and have fun!

What an awesome bass! I played yesterday almost all day long with a few breaks here and there! I can't imagine a better playing or sounding bass, I realize that is a biased statement, but it is truthfully the way I feel! Every time I pick it up I find another reason to get excited! The controls are unreal, the slightest tweak makes a world of difference. I have yet to dime any control just to see what I find. I haven't got that far yet. I can say with certainty that the only thing that might get turned up all the way is the volume in a gig setting. The set up is outstanding right out the box! Nothing I know to do would improve the awesome playability. I am overjoyed that I made the call on the 25th. I originally was going to get a Stingray 5, but asked opinions, being my first EBMM I just didn't know. Many of your responses helped confirm what I was already feeling. The 25th was a one time thing, I know the Reflex is coming, but Stingrays will always be around. So there might be a Stingray and maybe a Bongo in my future, at this point I really don't see the need. Thanks again to BP and Company for a grand slam helluva bass!
