Does anyone in the SF Bay Area have a laminated New Standard Cleveland I could check out?

Nothing but props man, I was kidding. You've got a beautiful bass and I'm envious. I hope to hear you play that bass one day soon.
Peace,

By the way, it looks like we're both Glenn disciples. We should have t-shirts!

I played a ply Cleveland at Gage's and then DONOSAUR's hybrid Cleveland and, yes, there were some differences in sound. But, at this "age", not very profound ones. And the workmanship, the way the bass felt under the hand, pretty much all of the physical aspects carried over form ply to hybrid. and I will postulate that this will be so for the fully carved as well.
I recommend taking HUFF DADDY up on his offer.
