The back REALLY looks stunning with the dark stain in the Ash wood grain with the orange over it. This would be a great color scheme with the satin finish on a Century Standard...maybe have a Rosewood fingerboard to accent the dark stain as well.

I’ll send you some pictures once the TPB photo squad snaps a few shoots of this thing. That way you can use it as your background!  |

| | Appointed President of the Roscoe Owners Club | | Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: Wake Forest, NC | | | I saw this body and the fingerboard that is going with it in person on Monday. This bass is awesome, the flamed maple just pops out from the orange finish. With a figured Birdseye fingerboard between the matching body and headstock, wow! When this one hits the sales floor, it is not going to last long because is looks that cool! A big piece of orange eye candy! |

I can't wait to see this thing! |

| | Appointed President of the Roscoe Owners Club | | Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: Wake Forest, NC | | This bass came out stunning!!! I imagine this is going to be a very sweet Christmas present for some lucky bassist, because I do not think it is going to last very long at TPB. 
It looks more red in the pictures that do that finish no justice, this is one you have to see in person because the orange is HOT!
