Can you show a clear pic of the headstock? The shape of the cresting wave will tell us which neck it has.

You may not know how much those pictures mean to me Edgar, but thank you so much!

Nice!
What Ted said... show us the headstock. That's a dead giveaway as to neck profile.

Stunning bass, can't wait for mine.

What does the headstock tell us.....? PLEASE let it be a thin neck.

Looks great Edgar. I'll let you hold on to it through the weekend, but then I need it back....

Seriously though.....I thought us forum guys had literally eaten up more than half the run on the 4003's. I'm surprised Edgar is the only one to receive his.

Can't wait for mine!! Edgar, that is beautiful. You got some nice angles on the color on your shots. Looks different to me than the beta version that you guys saw before.

Do you have another to compare to as far as neck thickness?

Paul W, great job on the TRC & pick guard. That TRC logo really stands out nicely now!

Congrats!

Lars, the only issues you should have should be with your dealer.

Factory production is not devoted to these instruments alone, so they are scheduled in batches in between all the other runs going on there. So, they are being and will be produced until all orders are filled.

That looks like the more "bulbous crest" type headstock.

But what does that mean? Is it a thin neck?

Holy ****! That is one fine looking bass Ed, congrats!

Paul, out standing job on the TRC. I am so glad it was changed to the silver lettering.

I can't wait. Image

The bulbous one would be the thick neck and the "normal" one would be the thin neck.
