Not even played mine through my amp yet, but see it as inevitable so why not. Free issue solved.

Whole bass.[URL=http://s237.photobucket.com/user/doninphi/media/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG1010.jpg.html][IMG]http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff262/doninphi/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG1010.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

As for the deluxe I did it as on thorman the stock model was 320 and deluxe 355. I skimped a touch in the past before on my Warwick and I should have got the higher model with better pickups, regretted it ever since. So with only £35 in it, I wasn't going to make that mistake again. Rosewood fingerboard is lovely and worth it for that alone in my eyes.

I've also removed the strap pin as it got in the way when playing higher up the scale.

Gonna cut a bit of Matt black vinyl to cover the hole up

So it's arrived! I'll add a main pic in a Mo. But following advice from this very thread first job was a damper.

Thanks stagg for some lovely grey packing foam in the box with the bass!

Cut to a gentle v shape, then cut off an angled section

Then trimmed some edges for a neat fit:

Oh and hi. I'm Phil. I follow the Facebook group for EUBs and now joined bass chat.
