| That bass was made back when you could get fretless diamondwood 'boards in colors (as opposed to the three options that are offered now: black, birdseye maple, and "rainbow"). You could get a blue 'board to match your blue bass or a green 'board to match your green bass. I'm sure that someone along the line thought that it would be neat to have a green fingerboard with a blue bass, but I have yet to actually see one!  |

see it in the pics above. looks a little like a tint, and comes
across a bit irregular. interesting effect though. not sure i
would have ordered one this way, but when you get it used,
you get it the way it comes!
someday i will splurge on a new Roscoe, but the twins will
have to suffice for now. Personally, i would go for a natural
look in quilted or spalted maple. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
