judging by his delivery option, he likes to give his buyers a nice jigsaw puzzle too

for that sort of money, you'd at least expect the wings to match just a [i]little[/i] bit.... Other than that, pretty bass

yeah that does look a little odd. How does this and the other ricks compare in sound?

Have a look at the back particularly - on a lot of high end basses you would expect to see each side matching (usually book-matched), but the grain on one side is totally different to the other.

Not that it has to of course, and this is still rather stunning for a ric (considering I don't usually like them)

Thanks for that, I was looking at the very edges.

Now that you have pointed it out it has become glaringly obvious. Beautiful, but bit of a shame.
