For a while there, I needed another 4-string in stock like I needed a hole in the head. After I moved a couple other basses, this one finally got the green light. It's here as of this morning, and it is fabulous! |

Those ball ends. You guys got 'em kinda-sorta-in-the-ballpark just to mess with me, didn't you? |

I was doing really well waiting for my alder/rosewood creation until you had to go and say that. You're also making me revisit the question of natural vs. amber stain, though I tend to prefer amber under gloss and natural if it's going to be oil. Hmm  |

I agree, this one turned out really nice! |
