Hehe, thanks. But you see, I want to be able to turn the volume all the way up to 10, not stopping at 3 or 4.

I finally got my 3 color sunburst sample delivered last week. What can I say... - wow! It just feels great to play, sounds fantastic! Not the best first impression when I opened the package, as the jack input was floating around inside the body. However, that was a quick fix, and after a setup (had to adjust the action and intonate it) it now plays like a dream. Did first try the rounds that were on, and the bass absolutely played fine with these. However, when I put LaBella flats on it really sounded like I wanted to. I guess this bass can be used with both string types with success depending on the application. Had a rehearsal with my acoustic trio yesterday, and it did fit in perfectly. Have a feeling that the pickguard will go off, as that looks a little bit cheap to me. As well do the knobs. Any good tip on better looking knobs? I also think this bass deserves a hard case.

Yupp. 3 tone sunburst. I saw yours, very nice indeed. Think I am going to put LaBella flats on it.

Thanks a lot for the video Eddie. Both the bass and the band sounds great! I have ordered my own sample of the Coronado now, in sunburst. Will hopefully arrive somewhere in March. Can't wait:)

[quote name='eddiehoffmann' timestamp='1390266532' post='2343485'] Some of the gigs I'm gonna play now in the end of the month will be filmed and properly recorded. Soon I'll have something with the bass in the context of a band. With this bass I'm playing mostly pop /folk / alternative vibes, if that makes any sense. [/quote] Thanks! I am condidering one for my pop/jazz/singer-songeriter project where the other two guys plays acoustic guitars and percussion.

By the way, how does the balance feel? I tried a Gibson Midtown the other day. Great playability and sound, but hte neck felt a bit heavy even if it didn't dive. I guess this easily becomes an issue on hollowbodies.

[quote name='Billy Apple' timestamp='1381746245' post='2243005'] No hard case. It came with a gig bag. I'd prefer a hard case, but don't know if there are any fitted ones out there. [/quote] Did you see this; http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f8/fender-coronado-hard-case-1045067/

The bass looks absolute fantastic! I an considering trying one. Do you have any sound examples? What kind of music are you playing with it?
