Yep! It looks like this beauty: [img:t0b4grot]http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Lee_Sklar_Purple_files/LeePurplefront.jpg[/img:t0b4grot] Am I correct if I assume this bass can sound like a Jazz Bass on steroids?

Yii-haaaa!!! Just some days away now...

Really? Only 3 months? Did a dealer have one in queue?

[quote="NaH":3b8j47fc]Really? Only 3 months? Did a dealer have one in queue?[/quote:3b8j47fc] I don't know, really. I believe Bass Direct has some in the pipeline all the time; at least the most popular ones. This is what the web page says: ...(plus some 40-50 NG-2 and Combustions too)...

Sweeeeeeet.

NICE!

Well, now I used The Purple One with the band. The response was: NEVER sell this one!!!

[quote="bassmayhem":1ygdl6hl]Well, now I used The Purple One with the band. The response was: NEVER sell this one!!![/quote:1ygdl6hl] Yeah...big congrats. Its such a slick looking bass

The look is one thing, the tone and versatility another. This bass responds to (my) playing in a way I nearly haven't experienced before. The only bass that matches this in that manner is a very nice four string Ritter singlecut I played at Rudy's in NYC three years ago, like some kind of aural interface, but that one was some $8K. Purple too!

A Sheldon / Lee collaboration was never going to turn out anything less!

I think this is a beautiful picture: one of my students at the exam from the education for intrepreters has the most beautiful purple dress. We made a deal: "You take the purple dress and I'll bring the purple bass."
