[url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=433262&highlight=spunky"]http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.p...ighlight=spunky[/url][/quote] A part of the site shows their massive parts shop, but I am sure that you don't have to do any of that, since they have an online shop.

OutToPlayJazz Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Did anyone spot the single cut on their website? If that's about £500 it's a stunner!

KennysFord Posted October 9, 2008 Author Share Posted October 9, 2008 (edited) seems i was asking a bit much for the neck to be the right colour. i ordered the one with the lighter coloured neck and the darker one is en route. Please somebody tell me its as nice.........Pleeeeeeeease. Edited October 9, 2008 by kennyrodg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve-soar Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 It's a beaut but what do you mean by a lighter coloured neck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennysFord Posted October 9, 2008 Author Share Posted October 9, 2008 (edited) sorry,i meant the rosewood board is lighter in colour in the photo on the left,the one i ordered.The bass on the right is the one they've put together and shipped. Edit, it seems the bass hasnt shipped after all and here's the reply from willows guitar [i]"Hi~ Thanks for your reply. I think I have to say "Do not worry~". It is the same "indian rosewood" and I have selected Premeuim grade for you. I rub some oil on the fingerboard so the look might be darker. And normally the darker rosewood has a good quality than brighter(ex:sonokelin). - it was not stein or boiled to make dark, it is naturally dried. The color would be much better if you see the real."[/i] So,it seems i have a "premium" grade rosewood board,not sure what sonokelin is though. google......???? Its nice enough like but i am i bit disapointed. Edited October 9, 2008 by kennyrodg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KennysFord Posted October 9, 2008 Author Share Posted October 9, 2008 (edited) yup,the only difference though is whichever colour you choose you'll get a different one........dispite numerous phone calls and emails...LOL. To be fair he's answered all my emails even called me at nearly midnight Korean time to answer any concerns. i'm a happy bunny really and i'll give him the benefit and see what its like when it turns up........providing it ends up in the right country/continent.

KennysFord Posted October 13, 2008 Author Share Posted October 13, 2008 (edited) Cheers Mike........and cheers prosebass. I just had an email of Ryu,(pronounced Loo if you decide to phone him,btw his english isnt too bad) and he's just told me he's marked the box as a gift and value at $100.I did'nt ask him to do that so came as a suprise,will they fall for it or will they see through the charade and value it themselves as a priceless Korean artifact. To be continued....................... :ph34r: If i get stung for £60 i'll not be too depressed,as long as it turns up safe and sound i'll be happy as larry.

thedontcarebear Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I e-mailed Ryu a few weeks ago, was thinking about asking where Ken was. I may get one of these if I sell my Vigier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
