It looks beautiful! And its a lefty! Congratulations! I have recently been discussing specs for a new bass with Rob. At first I was dead set on a lefty King Bass MkII 5 string fretless Black Beauty. But before I pulled the trigger a colleague of mine let me play his 5 string fretless Music Man Stingray. It was the first time I've played a 5 and it was very difficult and frustrating and I kept getting lost. It felt really....odd. (A pun! Get it!??!! Bwah hah hahahahahaha!!!Shock) Just last week I was able to noodle around with a Carvin AC50 5 string fretless semi hollow bass at the Carvin Store in Santa Ana and it was similarly frustrating and confusing to play. So I have come to the conclusion that 5 stringers are not for me, only 4 or 6 stringers. So now that I have decided to go with a 4 string King Bass MkII my only problem is selecting all the extras. Recently Rob has posted so many new and exciting options that its all of a sudden become very difficult to decide what to do.
