It's a beauty. I really liked the Spector I had, but never got used to 5 string.

Somehow a credit card fell out of my wallet and my fingers started pressing buttons on a keyboard. Oh dear :eek:

I just pulled the pin on a Noble tube bass pre, It will take 8 weeks to be built, then shipping to me. Hoping to add some high end tubey goodness to my solid state rig and beyond.

Got my tracking details today, should be in NZ in 6 to 10 days. I paid a bit extra to get it built quicker. I suck at being patient. Hoping it's at home waiting for me when I get home from Japan.

Streamer Stage 1 „masterbuilt“? Jealous!!! I want that wallet too!!!

Yes! Waxed SS1. Last year they came with the flight case. '15. Very excited! Club pics in a few days :)

ooh the suspense . so hard to read on those wenge covers..I actually blacked out the writing on mine lol to make it stand out a bit more. Newby? so cool.

Haha...yeah, it's really hard to read. It's a '15, but very minty. The first year of the wood truss covers and tuners. Looks like in '16 they darkened the laser etch a bit more.

Seems they had a limited edition plus a special edition of Corvettes in 2010. This special edition is just called „black“ as I read on the certificate.

I‘m buying No. 14, here is the certificate of No. 13:

depends on who's asking
I just bought a bass that isn't a Warwick! Shocking!!!! But the Music Man Big Al is a super cool, and very rare, beast. I have owned a Big Al SSS ( 3 single coil pups) for a while and came across a great deal on this Big Al H (single humbucker), and couldn't pass it up. I have been keeping an eye out for a 5 string for some time, but have not found one at a reasonable price yet. According to Scott Ball, only 699 were ever made and only 77 of this model were made. I think only a handful of these "tuxedo" types with an ebony fretboard were made. If you ever get the chance to play one, don't pass it up. It has a great feeling neck in my opinion.

I've always dug the retro-futuristic look of these basses. It reminds me of what Judy Jetson might play if she joined a punk band.
