So, my LG3000 4 banger arrived today!!

PRETTY bass!!!!
Cherryburst over a nice flame maple top- WITH body binding!!!!
Rosewood fingerboard.
Bt I'm not 100% sure on the body wood. Looks like mahogny. But then again, the darker red of the finish on the back, it could be ash.

It's REAL warm sounding. Quite the player as well.

I know, no pics, no bass.....I'll toss up a few when I get home from dinner.

Mike,
I think we both have Spanish Cedar bodies (without seeing yours, of course). Mine is Pinline Spalted Maple on a Spanish Cedar body, although there is a 3rd laminate in the middle, which I did not see until after it arrived (used); I think it is mahogany, but Gard may know more.

Gard,
Can you tell what type of wood is on my LG in between the Maple and Cedar? Looks similar in grain to the Spanish Cedar, but I wonder if it is a type of mahogany for more punch? Just curious. Hopefully you are able to see the photo I posted.

Oh man. Mahogany, maple top, rosewood board, Bart electronics....SLURP. Wonderful combination there!

Wait. This thing has black hardware? Is Joe aware of this?

(I joke because I, too, am a big fan of black hardware.)

Indeed, I may...

What you are seeing there is a "pinstripe", not a lamination!

There is a veneer between the Spanish Cedar and Spalt Maple, but the other part is just the Spanish Cedar without a stain on it...

Right on Jerry!

Now that's something to get excited about!

MikeBass · #10 04-08-2010, 12:06 PM

Anyone have a black Hipshot GB7 laying around for this thing?????
I was thinking of swapping out the hardware for gold

......

RocketMusic · #11 04-08-2010, 03:02 PM

Cool! Sounds nice. So I take it the headstock is an non-issue? That's great to hear!!

**Bipslapper** · #12 04-08-2010, 03:17 PM

Yeah, Mike how does the headstock look? Sounds like it may be minor, in that case you would have a Major steal!

Darkstrike · #13 04-08-2010, 04:13 PM

Thats damn nice lookin!

Dude, it's seriously nothing.
Actually looks more like a scratch. Taking it to my guy next week.

MikeBass · #15 04-09-2010, 04:37 AM

check it:

These are WAY crappy pics.......
The finish is much much "brighter" than it shows. Here it looks almost like a tobacco burst- trust me, it's a brighter, nice cherry burst.
And the flame is REAL nice. Pops right up.
I'll try and get some better ones tonight (these were taken with my phone).

JOME77 · #16 04-09-2010, 04:48 AM

Awesome looking bass Mike! You really got a great deal on that one. It has a very elegant look to me.

Great find!

P.S. And I love the black hardware!

MikeBass · #17 04-09-2010, 05:59 AM

The second picture starts to come close how it really looks.
So far it's pretty sweet! (just needs a D-Tuner....)

Darkstrike · #18 04-09-2010, 09:37 AM

Thats damn tasty!

MikeBass · #19 04-09-2010, 09:39 AM

BTW, total price with it shipped to my house/tax was $1100.

**Freddels** · #20 04-09-2010, 11:02 AM

The pickups are crooked. Better send it to me so I can try to straighten 'em out for you.
