All the pieces arrived last week, so here's my now complete "new" bass rig at home:

Used Carvin BT-4A bass, approximately 7-8 years old
Behringer BX300 30W practice amp
Davids book

Slowly getting used to it ..

Thanks, guys ..
Nice. How do you like the Carvin?

So far, I really like it. Since I am a rank beginner on bass, my tastes are not refined .. but plays real nice, fits nicely, not too heavy, and I find the neck quite easy to play, but different enough from a guitar that I know I am playing something different. I have been surprised that I am able to fret the correct notes almost all of the time.

Looks cool, that color looks like it has flakes or sparkles in it. Should look cool under lights.

i've always been a fan of metallic paint - nice one.

How's the amp? I'm not sure what to make on Behringer...

(Tip, their wahs are terrible. Don't go there...)

Amp's a little noisy even with volume turned off. Not a lot of "definition" in the sound, seems to kind of get flabby for want of a better term past about 9 o'clock. Definitely only a practice amp; ok for my limited use, which is stricly for practice.
