Devon bass #2 showed up at my door.  Thank you FedEx for not losing it this time.

I'll have a in-depth review of it after I've spent some time with it but my initial thoughts are this really is a fantastic instrument.  Devon did a remarkable job.

Devon bass vs Warmoth Jazz

The number one thought I'm hit with when I pick up the bass is its weight - its very light.  I know Devon chambers his basses but I wasn't expecting it to be this light.  This thing will spoil me for all future basses.  No longer will I be stuck with a 10 pound Warwick Thumb around my neck.  Heck, even my Warmoth Jazz feels heavy compared to this.

Devon bass - pickups and pre-amp
The pre-amp on the bass will need some time to master.  Not only are the NordStrand Duasl Coil 5 pickups new to me, the three band pre-amp will need fine tuning. There is also an active/passive switch....which I might use more than I originally assumed (meaning use more passive mode).

Devon bass vs Warmoth Jazz
I need to spend time on the bass to get the hands used to the new neck.  Devon does a really unbelievable job rolling the neck sides...so smooth and hand-friendly.  But its an adjustment from the Warmoth Jazz - and it will take a little time before it feels like home. 

I am very pleased and happy with this bass.  Devon is a great guy and a great luthier.  More to say about the bass after I've spent some time on it.
