Kev Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 judging by his delivery option, he likes to give his buyers a nice jigsaw puzzle too Quote
budget bassist Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 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 Quote

What what?[/quote] 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) Edited August 23, 2009 by bythesea Quote

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