gsgbass Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Beautiful bass Markbass. Thank you for taking that bass out of FL. I live in Fl, and if I had that lovely follow me home, I'd be finding a new home in Texas. A Big Congrats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markbass555 Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 Thanks for all the comments guys. I agree with what has been said about the rosewood board that was a big issue for me as wether to buy it or not as it wasnt period correct. But The finish is stunning a nice subtle checking to the paint work and it is also very light. As far as I know it was a one of commission for Bass Club in Chicago who very kindly shipped it to my hotel in Florida. I have just had it set up and the frets dressed and it plays and sounds awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, that's not right. A bass shepherd for wayward basses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
