| | | | Binding w/ dots?
I was just wondering if anyone was rocking a bound w/ dot neck?
I think that'd look pretty classy and a nice timeless cross between trad dots and bound / blocks....and just enough out of the ordinary...
Anyone got pics?

Edit- Body Binding that is; the bound neck looks awesome on that instrument!
I miss my ASAT!

| | | | Wow guys, these are truly beautiful basses...I am honestly thinking this is my new fave. I love pearloid blocks, but for this new J I am designing, I think bound/dot is going to be it... man, those huge dots on that ASAT: KILLING ME.

| | | | Very nice...seriously beautiful. I love cream binding. I think that's how I'm ordering my neck, for sure.

| | Come at me, bro! | | Join Date: Jul 2010 Location: Downstate CA | | I'm kinda jonesin' for an SG (guitar) with P-90s and dot/bound neck. The Townsend sigs were on clearance recently, but I'd want to check out the neck profile in person first, and I haven't found one to check out locally.
edit: Completed listing for that Iceman if you want to see more pics, btw. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ibanez-ICB50...item589ae00d31
