Are you going to spray the hs face black like you did on the other one?

It's the same bass, just a shot I took before I painted the headstock.

Think this one's not going to get that treatment, the color is so..........

Well, you can look for ethical (or the least scummy in some cases) companies to buy from. By all accounts, Hartley cared about his employees. His successor didn’t; otherwise he’d have given them plenty of notice. My employer is one of the most ethical billion dollar companies I know of. They may not be common, but they are out there.
I'm also pretty happy about what I see happening in the large corporation I work for. I don't think you can tar them all with one brush.
Some of the worst (lack of) ethics I have seen in business have been individual actions in small companies.
 
I finally got around to purchase the Geddy "Big Beautiful Book of Bass" - what a nice "coffee table" book! It appears that no expense was spared - heavy-stock pages, great colour photo's and lots of fun reads. For $50 - it's a bargain. I was happy to see the nice big pic of an amber'd white Dano Dane (sweet!:thumbsup:), the early '60s relative of my Dano-made '68 Coral Deluxe Bass.

I wonder if it just covers 'most' of his collection as there are certain basses that are missing - like this one... does anyone here own one? It's pretty cool - the Greco "Suzi Quattro" bass.

The black hs face just makes it :thumbsup: - I'd definitely do the blue one like that.

It did really help the red one, the blue on the other hand is so completely outlandish in person - thus, I'm still on the fence about painting it.

It really is a stunning color.

The black adds a dynamic visual contrast that makes the surrounding colour pop.

They tell ya "go to yer 'happy place", I say "I ain't got one". Then I'm out. BTW, I hope they either do the endoscopy first or use a different apparatus. ;)
You'll know when you wake up. ;)
I asked last time about the order of things. The nurses laughed. The doc apparently left his personality at home. But he's supposedly really good. I ain't paying for a friend, so I'm good with that.
