nope, maple is cooler
+ i find a rosewood board needs a matching headstock which makes it more expensive.

Greetings from the North,
Nope. I think he said they were LaBella tape wounds. As long as you don't shred them too often with a pick they last a long time and sound great too.

Even though i enjoy lookin at everyone's classy and sometimes very good quality fotos of their basses on stands or the floor, I really enjoy seeing the players behind them. It makes it so much more interesting!
I got this in Greenwood, IN at Guitarworks in April of this year.

See My Avatar for my L2500 in action! Also....
I've been gassing for an SB-2 for awhile and finally splurged for this one on Ebay (I'm sure some of you probably saw it on there already- brand new with the 6- bolt neck). I fell in love with the all-black thing (I was never a fan of that motif until seeing this bass!). They had it listed with a Buy It Now of $1300 or best offer...so I just put an offer that I expected them to turn down for sure ($950 + free shipping), and they went for it! This is around the same price that my local G&L dealer quoted me to have one made (he said probably around $900 or so- he didn't get too exact about the costs of extra options), and I am too impatient to wait for a custom- I actually have never seen an SB-2 quite like this, and like it more (in theory for now, until I actually get to play it!) than the idea I originally had!

So pretty! (Also has matching black headstock!)
Now one of you has to sell me one of their old black Saddle- Lock bridges!

Oh you bought this one? I think it was kicking around on Ebay for a while without a bite because I posted this exact bass at the Dude Pit. A black pearl guard would look amazing on it.
