yepmop Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Looks nice, love the colour, is that a metallic blue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidlovellbass Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Good to see one of these in the UK, and not too far off being local, may have to come and see it in the flesh if you're ever Hampshire way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Looking good. I might have to take the plunge next time he's building a patch of 5-strings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Yes it is metallic. It is the old favourite "Lake Placid Blue" [quote name='davidlovellbass' timestamp='1339934942' post='1696402'] Good to see one of these in the UK, and not too far off being local, may have to come and see it in the flesh if you're ever Hampshire way [/quote] Yeah that would be fine, likewise if you are in the Dorsetshire area, feel free to come and have a play. More photos to come... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
