Surely the eagle has landed. Updates man, updates!  

In the meantime I’m going to leave this here.

Haha - you got one!

I did! I hope you realise that you are a tiny bit responsible for that! 

Updates... It's a beautiful instrument, that's for sure. Very comfortable too, so no worries there. String mute is awesome! I don't understand the factory string gauges- as expected the inner two feel and sound much lighter than the outer. Saw that coming anyway, so will be going to a normal set! I am used to working around pickup covers, but the one here will have to go to get everything I want from the bass, not least for palm muting, which is possible around the built in mute, but the cover lands right under my thumb, blocking plucking access! It was 50/50 as to whether it would stay anyway. The only niggle is a dodgy fret or two, which I assume is from an after market job- if not then Ric's work was poor but some marks from fret files hint at an amateur attempt! I'm very fortunate to live round the corner from our own @KiOgon who has cast his expert eye over all my basses at some point. If he can get it playing half as well as my others I'll be chuffed!
