Thanks Alan.
The force, er I mean the GAS is great with you Alan, it is wise to not resist the the Kingfisher.
The finish on these is slick, and I made mine even slicker today as I put on a coat of Virtuoso Polish, and it is slicker and shinier than before.
Also tried on one of my guitar straps, and I will not have to adjust them for the bass, the length is OK for both the guitars and the bass.
I almost find it easier to play too with the neck pointing almost straight up, kind of like how Stone Temple Pilots bassist Robert DeLeo - Evi holds his.
I remember the first time I saw them in videos, and I thought that looked pretty cool but must be difficult, but no it is not.
