no prob Thunderpaws lol There is something about that Geddy neck on the usa model that just feels instantly nice !!!! can't explain it, it just does, it was a weird experience for me, having played Rics all my days, it was strange to take to another bass like that i found it difficult at the body end of the neck at first but i know now that was just me being so used to playing Rics, i had to get out of that habit anyway !!!! feels like i have owned this bass for years !!
