I always loved a maple board with purple body finish.

Oh Yeah - got it today. No chance to play thru an amp yet but I'm jamming tonight so will give a report tomorrow. Seller is an excellent E-bayer: Bass and case are in excellent shape and he also included LOTS of unmentioned case goodies:
• Monster Cable
• Strap w/ Schaller Straplocks (which I'm switching to Dunlops to stay uniform)
• E-B Polish & Cloth
• New set of E-B Regular Slinkies
• Original hang tags & MM warranty stuff
• Set list from their band -- http://www.recruitsweb.com/
• He even split 2nd day shipping with me!
Guys like this make you trust in ebay a little bit more.

Sorry no pics today - overcast threatening rain - maybe tomorrow.

Just taking it out of the case & slapping a bit reminded me how good it feels to have that room where the Bongo neck pup would be. And the color is even a deeper purple than I thought it would be in person - she's a beaut!

More reports later........

Yep it IS glossed. I'm really liking the matte finish of my GrapeRay though.
