| | | | really! i didnt know they were quite that much!
well what about an an Arvi-- theyre great- around 20 for a new one, less for an earlier one. Or Pollman, some are really nice. |

Kind of felt really heavy, a little unwieldy, but it could have just been that one. I've looked into a couple... But I'm hedging most of my bets on finding something at ISB.

They're all exactly like mine. I'm curious about the purfling. Would you happen to have a very clear photo of the purfling on the top? I loved my Tewks, an awesome bass. |
