NOBD! (New Offset Bass Day!) Charvel Surfcaster Bass in trans orange!
Well, for some reason I thought it'd be cool to lowball offer for this on Reverb- and the dude accepted!
Just arrived today, and it's everything I want in an instrument, minus 8 strings or so.
Original Gangsta Charvel Surfcaster Bass in trans orange- Mahogany semi-hollow with maple cap, Lipstick pickups, Maple neck, Rosewood/dots board, matching headstock (Even the headstock is offset!)
I love the lollipop orange color- it's a bit shocking in person, but the pics get you almost there:
Well, I guess I have a bass now!

I had never played a real one before (surfcaster bass, that is-) only the weird acoustic version and my Surfcaster 12s of course. A little adjustment on the neck is going to be needed, but otherwise this thing is perfect!
Plugged it in to my practice amp (Roland Cube 30) and it sounds smoooooth & low- just like it should. The flatwounds have a nice feel to them.

I’m into this. Lipsticks + flats = win.

Welcome to the Surfcaster Bass club! I have the same model - whenever I play it at gigs,someone will *always* come up afterwards and ask about it.

It's orange too, but the figuring on the top isn't quite as dramatic as yours. I'll dig out some photos when I get the chance...

Wow.
That's a nice bass. How are the tube pickups?
F used Duncan tubes on their Rascal bass a few yrs back which were pretty fun (wired like a strat)
