I had this one bookmarked on the Solar page for months and would go look at it now and again, almost pulling the trigger so many times, but just didn't want to deal with all the customs fees, VAT, etc. Something about the color scheme just grabbed me the first time I saw it. And, it's even more stunning in person. Bet it looks insane under stage lights.
After getting the bass off Drache, I knew I wanted a Solar guitar next (and now I want a 7-string!).
So when this this one popped up on Reverb and I had a Warlock bass up for sale, I told myself "if this Warlock sells today, I'm grabbing that Solar." Sure enough, the bass sold about an hour later.
Haven't had a chance to run it through an amp or the AXE FX yet to check out the Duncan Solar pups, and the strings on it are like 11 or 12s (I use 9s) but aside from that I love it so far.




And, we close on our new house in 3 weeks, so I'll finally be able to run my amps again for the first time in a year, so pretty jazzed to crank this bad boy up through the Jet City and 2 Mesa Boogie Lonestars.
