You need to drop by more often. We need more Johnny Winter vids! That just being one reason.

Ha!, just gotta drop this one. It's possible banning material for me here. There's dirty words.

Since we're sharing pics of VP fretboards...
...here's mine, presumably a 2020 model, built December 2019
First of all - Nice Basses!
Your '18 VP fretboard has a classic Pau Ferro look to it. Your '17 VP FB looks identical to mine, which I think is a synthetic wood called Blacktec.
And most important - wood deck, lush green grass, thick woods (and I assume grape vines as thick as your arm). You're killin me man, now I'm really getting homesick.
Nice. Is that the Indian Laurel that was mentioned earlier as being on the newer models?Since we're sharing pics of VP fretboards...

Side note - I've been considering starting a bonsai tree from seed, the box in your pic looks like the brand I was looking at, if so are you pleased with the product?
Presumably so, all the ones I've seen listed as "rosewood" are much darker, like my CP. This pic shows them both (not a great pic though), and the 'board on the VP looks like the pics I've seen of Indian Laurel...
As for the tree....so far so good. Haven't killed it yet
Maybe this stuff? Plantation New Zealand pine put through some kind of compression process...First of all - Nice Basses!

You haven't been around in a while. I thought perhaps you were off to Montana to raise dental floss.What's your pleasure?

What I found most interesting was the variance of outer-strings' spacing to outer-edges of the neck.
I'll take the upper left 2009 Goth IV's bass side with the lower right 2009 IV's treble side.
My instructor always swore by Mogami. Like, harshly swore!
I have Mogami on most all pedal connects and etc. And used to use it to connect my bass. But the cable from my guitar to the pedals is now Tsunami. Read up on their reviews. Toughest cable I have ever seen. Lifetime warranty for anything. Pricey, but will not fail.
Review – Tsunami Cables 10’ ST-90 Tidal Wave Model
Thanks! And thanks for the description of FB materials. The lighter FB on the '18 always made me think it was man-made since it kind of has a paneling look to it. That was out back of the old house. Kentucky's calling (with much lower taxe$ but more rain)!First of all - Nice Basses!

I have a few short 18” Mogami cables with right angle plugs I use with my wireless transmitters. Nothing special IMO.
Well, SW is sending a new 4x10 cab. I sent them a 30 second clip that featured the buzzy upper right driver and rather than make me hassle with trying to get it fixed, they’re just shipping a new one. Pretty good on them I think. Minor inconvenience is all. I’m guessing there is something loose; but I appreciate not having to mess with it. Stuff happens. That’s why I bought from them in the first place and continue to be a good customer.
Just saw this in our locals, Gibson fretless Bird with hardcase for 500$ ???

That looks like a bolt-on Epiphone that was de-fretted.
