A couple more pix. Funny- I picked this up in Nashville. The luthier there said that Victor Wooten had just left the shop and he had him play my lefty bass just for kicks.

Here I am dorking out at the violin shop with the new axe. I was pretty loopy over getting this.

Loving it. Just trying to build strength and working on intonation. Loving the challenge.

Is that a 3/4 size? For some reason, it looks smaller to me. Or is the top slimmer than a conventional 3/4?

It's 3/4. It does have narrow shoulders that make it seem smaller in photos, but this thing is still a beast. I love the looks of it in addition to everything else. Really a perfect bass for me right now.

I don't remember the exact up charge, but yes. I wanna say about $200 (?) I paid $1750 total for mine, which as you are probably aware is a great price for a quality DB.
