That second pic was taken at Arnold Schnitzer's old shop (
www.aesbass.com). That bass is mine and it is a beauty. That was before the bass was completed and I got to take it for a test drive. It was a very cool day and I love that bass. It's the one in my avatar, but the lighting in my avatar sucked the big one.
LOGGERS, I NEED YOUR HELP! I'm going to be ordering a p-bass, but I need pics of the skyline dj WHITE PEARL finish. If you can find one that really brings out the color and sparkle, that would be absolute tops.
I'm going for a 4 string p-bass, white pearl metallic finish, b/w/b pickguard, rosewood (or ebony board.. not sure), pearl blocks and binding, Lakland p-pickup, drop tuner. The bass is going to own. I'm on the fence with alder or ash. Alder, in my experience, is very inconsistent. It sometimes is very warm and resonant, and dead at other times.
Thoughts on the consistency of alder? Thoughts on whether fingerboard wood really impacts the tone on a fretted instrument? Thoughts on life itself?
