Nice looking bass :) how's the set up?

Thanks.
TBH, I'm not too sure, it's my first DB. It's certainly playable. I'll have to have someone who knows take a look at a it.
Taking Stingray Pete's advice I went with an adjustable bridge and had the strings swapped out.

Thanks for all the nice comments.

Can't tell you how excited and happy I'am to be starting out on (hopefully) the long road of my BD playing.

The bass looked beautiful to me when it arrived (nicer than I thought it would). They even seem to of gone to the effort of trying to match the grain up.

I may have to bite the Bullet and get someone in the know to have a look at it just make sure I'm giving myself a fighting chance with it.
It seems to be pretty playable, hopefully all the creaking and string stretching will settle down in time?

So far so good.

BassFunk,
everyone else look away!

It was close to €1350 with the Spiro's, bridge and the extra €100 they charged for setting it up.
I was going to go with Gedo, but they didn't have the bass I wanted in stock, so with the free postage from Thomas and long return policy I went with them in the end.

Excellent news, I still think good strings and the adjustable bridge is a good idea for us noobs and to keep alteration costs down should it need a tweak either way.

My strings took a week to settle but once they do I understand spiros are meant to be very stable? These new basses take a few years to mature to from what others have said.

Enjoy :D

Im gigging mine tonight at a Dark Burlesque show, pics to follow in the db porn thread tomorrow hopefully :o
