This will be the broad template of my next commision.... Sunburst, tort plate, RW block and bound
Might just tinker with the type of burst, but I just need to decide when to pull the trigger..

Mrs Rick must be very understanding! Wonderful collection there. Is the last one a Fender or a Bravewood (it looks very like the one with the shrunken tort guard that was sold on here by Kevin Lindsay a few months back)?

well, she is......to a certain extent, i'm running out of credits with her though i think. She keeps opening cupboards and finding another large tweed box that wasnt there before. I am [i]trying[/i] to reduce the hoard. i've sold 3 basses and 2 amps over the past few months, but now i'm down to ones i simply can't part with.
The last one is a '60 slab board Bravewood, i bought it off a fellow BC'er, not Kevin though, he owned it before though. I've since added some additional original parts I had from '60 (Tuners/bridge/knobs/thumbrest/chrome covers/upside down s/n neckplate), it now looks completely original, and plays amazing. I'm looking for a brown tolex case for it.

Thanks Rick I don't play it much now, I get it out maybe a couple of times a year,just to look at, the neck is to thin for me now. Maybe I'll play it again when I retire.
