I agree with you but from the bass business standpoint I feel compelled to point this out. Basses are wrongly named, attributed and copied more often than you can imagine.

A bass that I have in progress from Arnold is being called an 'inspired copy' rather than an actual copy of the bass that is being used for the model. This is because we are adding corners to a cornerless bass as well and making a roundback instead of a flatback like the original. Just trying to be accurate in the 'labeling' of what it is and isn't.

All of this is ok but I think professional marketing needs to be responsible when ever it can be. Mistakes are often made as well but I would prefer things named more accurately whenever possible.

Enjoy the bass and let us know how that extension works out. I haven't used one like that since before you were born..
