Nice wood.[/quote]

Many thanks :)

It's certainly a looker, I love it!

Jon (Shuker) didn't say so but I reckon he picked those pieces of Buckeye deliberately becuase he say faces in there.

I you look carefully you can see something that looks a bit like the characture from Munch's "The Scream" (Back of the bass at the bottom) :rolleyes:

Nooooo, its a springer spaniel! Don't forget the sloth sat on top of the bear's head and the rhinoceruseruserus (the whole of the front !) :rolleyes:

oh, and Ki0gon, in the control cavity cover thingy of your bass, there's the profile of a koala's face.

"Basses With Faces" is a fantastic idea for a thread - but I was a bit disheartened by the fact that the best I could come up with was the Pac-Man ghost which lives on the end of my Hohner B2A:

However I finally got around to taking some pics of my Lace Helix - and when going through them, was struck by the realisation that it looks [i]exactly[/i] like a fluffy little baby seal cub, flinching as it waits for the cudgel to descend:

And once you see it, you can't un-see it. I was intending to swap the knobs for wooden or metal ones, if I could find the right style - but that would be like plucking its little eyes out.

I'm so glad it's not white.

Jon.
