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.

Yeah!this ones a keeper ,it is an amazing player action is extremely low,sounds Geddy like believe it or not.the neck is nonexistent and Laser straight,this thing plays like butter and still needs a setup.Thanks Graham.

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.
