Way to use "The Secret" Luke!

Yet is the key word. Remember, by both our countries standards I'm not even an adult, and I've got no dosh at the moment.
As soon as I get enough cash, I will take my first step onto the Lakland road. Trust me, I really want one. Maybe I can imagine really hard that I've got one....yep, it's working...
Oh man, you should see it, its a Skyline BG5 in 3TSB, with a black white black pickguard. Wow, this finish is absolutley flawless...

:hiding:

Luke.
 
there is a number of USA 45-94s out there, a 45-76 at Leo's, but I haven't seen any 4 string 35" Ps.
And, I do prefer the tung oil finish on mu USA 5-94 to the satin finish on my Shorelines, but the tung oil finish is not akin to that of Warwick kind of treatment. Never tried a Cirrus to compare tho.

Compared to Warwick, my Peavey's neck feels a drier and smoother.
 
And introducing.......
Radioactive Oatmeal!

Sometime I'll get better family pics, and try to figure out how to get the flake to actually look as good as it does in person. Marty Bell did both finishes, and both are EXQUISITE!

TOO COOL!!! AWESOME BRO!!! :bassist:
 
not a bad idea....one concern is that the production is done overseas and it takes a few (more than 2-3) basses that tend to get "ruined" getting the basses "just so" before Dan can approve production...there are costs for the CNC programming and engineering, the new hole configurations for the bridge etc.

also...the shipping costs of sending the prototypes back and forth...and as Randy says - 30 seems to be a tough number to crack...regardless of the color....

a BG5 SKyline LOG bass WILL get done.....after the economy bounces back some.....

Doug, now, is that exactly what your work is?** ;) Costs for the CNC programming and engineering? Commooooon, give me a break!



**NO offense intended. Ever! ;)
