Well, that's understandable because as we all know, no pics=doesn't exist. Very Happy

hope you guys were nice all year & Santa brought you nice presents. we'll be getting back home soon & i'll take pics, for now all i have is this. right after getting the parts back in & replacing the p-up switch, not rea;;y cleaned up, but plays sweet & loud. my nephew say this pic should post, my assistant ( pictured ) was more trouble than helpful, as you can imagine, cheers -

Oooh, nice muted sunburst finish AND rosewood board. Very nice.

The dog looks scared, like he's going to leave a *mark* on that chair!!!

Beautiful T though.

...and i'm envious of the maple necks basses, never had one. i'll tell you about this one - bought it new for $300 i believe, put it right to work for the next year or two, i doubt it ever left the van. the next few years it was in a rehearsal hall for anyone to use. after that i was interested in modifications, so tried a couple of different humbucker pick-ups in the neck position, settled on a DiMarzio humbucker & changed the pots. as testimonials go, here's the kicker & i'm not exaggerating: i kept this bass for the next 15 or 20 years in a house by a salt water bay, couple blocks from the ocean. no matter what time of year you'd go there & pick it up, the bass would be in tune, no shift in the neck, nothing. only a little pitting by the top bridge saddle, which could even be from contact with my right hand. got the bug again a few months back & realized the switch was shot, so i went online to get one & saw that there was a bit of a following. so you folks left me no choice but to put it back to stock & since i'm nuts, i knew i had kept all the parts. in the course of putting it back, i lost a knob ( "it was there a minute ago" it's in the house somewhere, i blamed the dog ) and other than a couple of screws, it's all original, never routed, just re-soldered. the pickguard has some wear, both of the pick-up rings are cracked, but intact, the fretboard's in great shape, the body's finish is nice, a few slight dings & apparently i managed to avoid wearing giant belt buckles. got the case, too & the keys to lock it. compared to my other basses, this thing booms, very deep, not terrificly trebly.

i'd say i got my $300 dollars worth

Great looking bass (the finish is beautiful) and cool dog too. Though, he does look scared, maybe he's a guitar player:-) You know they need so much attention...

Not all of us guitar players crave attention. I'm one of them rhythm guys that likes to hang back with the bassist and drummer.
