      I suppose he does, I just am trying to dig up the correct dimensions for my own notebook. Sorry if this is annoying either of you.
      No problem. It's not annoying at all.

      I am annoyed at the 5 year old running around here making a ruckus when I'm trying to think though...

        Just a side question, what model is this bass used in the webpage logo:



        it looks very cool to me. I like the clean look of the bridge pickup mountng.

          That's their "modern" bass. Needs wider pickups though.



          Here's one you don't see too often, a 4002:

              They try and cram 5 strings over those things too. I've heard people complain that the outside two strings are weak, and John H comes on the forum and says they are fine as is. Apparently he plays one.

              That would be a VERY narrow 5 string.

                  There was about 6dB drop on the G string and about a 12dB drop on the B.
                  This bass was totally useless as it came from the factory. The worst finish work I've seen in decades, looked like it was put together in a Jr.High chainsaw safety class. The fingerboard had big chunks taken out and filled with something that didn't quite look like feces but very close.

                  Just how much do they charge for one of these?

                    Yeah, I've seen the five string models and laughed. Is anyone QAing these things? How cheap can you get. I'd like to see their 6 string model LOL...just kidding...

                          That's a kick in the nuts with pointy shoes if you ask me. I guess I don't feel so bad charging twice that much.

                              Funny... just last night I saw a documentary where an Indian fellow was interviewed who holds the world's record for being kicked in the groin.... 43 times!

                              Had to switch channels while he... uh... demonstrated.
