I've seen some great work done on conklins, that's why i made sure to include the word "dimensions" as opposed to the whole bass. many people love them, but in my opinion their 7's, which are some of the most well known 7s, have much too large of dimensions.

Brubaker has some competition for that title now! Although, Brad Johnson clearly has the lead on number of basses I would cut a leg off for. |

Also the black hardware creates further contrast as the purpleheart and ash do. At least that was the intent. I'll have to wait and have my girlfriend model it for me to be sure.  Quote:

Thank you very much! I really can't wait to see the back of the body. I love swamp ash and from the pics it looks very pretty. I mean who doesn't like a great piece of ash?  Quote:
