I get a 5-string bass guitar

I'm now the proud owner of this candy-apple red Fender Roscoe Beck 5-string bass guitar that I bought over ebay (got a great price on it too).

This is my first venture into 5-string basses - for those who might not know, a five string bass adds a low B string, down below the regular low E (six string basses add a high C string too).

I can't wait to start playing it with the band - being able to get down to the low root for tunes in C and D, and the low fifth for tunes in F and G should be just killer!

Here's a story about this model of bass, and here is a review. I'll report back on the bass once both it and I arrive in Seattle later this week (the bass is coming from Michigan, I'll be coming from New Hampshire).
