[quote name='evoman' post='727132' date='Jan 27 2010, 11:52 PM']Is the fretboard coated? it looks shiny for ebony or ebanol. Are there any grooves in the fretboard surface?[/quote] Not much string marks if thats what you mean ...and the string marks that are there polish out.Yeah i think is ebonol as mentioned earlier up the thread. Come try it out if you're interested.

There's 2 companies making them. The site that you've linked to is the cheaper Korean version. Here's the Japanese site. [url="http://www.cc.rim.or.jp/~tune/"]http://www.cc.rim.or.jp/~tune/[/url] If you search around they've got a gallery of the custom orders that they've made. This one's an 86 that I'm selling [quote name='BBass' post='724770' date='Jan 26 2010, 12:51 AM']Surprised they still make them as I haven't seen one for years. Just checked their website though (www.tuneguitars.com) and they make quite a few different models. Prices seem pretty reasonable too... Bryan[/quote]

[quote name='doctor_of_the_bass' post='719209' date='Jan 20 2010, 04:24 PM']These basses are superb! The fingerboard is ebonol, I think! We had two in stock when I were a lad working at Music Village - lovely! Highly recommended! Nick[/quote] Cheers Nick Think i remember them selling them,think they did a 3 octave version too!! Pete

Selling this lovely old upright,only bought recently,you may have seen it on ebay. it's a Boosey and Hawkes not sure if a Excelsior or Golden Strad model. It's in lovely condition the previous owner had it since 1968 and used it for youth orchestra type work ,then it was just pretty much stood around since early 80's. She bought it from the original owner. Has nice grain patterns on the laminates. I paid over £700 for it but open to near offers. I'm in N.West uk if anyones interested will try get some new pics done soon Thanks Pete
