WOW! Ken that is a thin neck! Don't break it! What an amazing looking bass.. that is what fireglo should always be like! The F hole is cool and I like how the finger rest was moved to be a thumb rest.

Ken, I told you it would arrive!

Spectacular piece of kit.

Now, is that considered a "pencil neck" or a "Turkey neck" by you bodybuilder guys?

Congratulations.

So tell me, what's the big deal about 4005s?

I removed the thumb rest and put it back in the proper place,it was held on with rubber cement thank god. I used a razer blade to cut it then once it was off rubbed theglue right off with my thumb no harm to the finish at all.

Ken... congrats on the new member of your family, while we stand proud, we are also a bit jealous...
