Val or Mica, can you give us some information on this? Is it another small scale Series One, or maybe something completely different?

I believe it was an S2 in coco bolo. It had a small standard body and the fretboard was fully inlaid (I can't recall the design, but one of the dragons comes to mind).

It's a beauty, but we were asked not to show pictures or provide details. They don't exactly have it hidden away in a closet, but they want it to remain unpublished until Stanley can get his eyes/hands on it personally. I suspect that there will be a thorough photo shoot and that it will be custom of the month as soon as Stanley comes to town. I can say that I would never buy another bass if I owned that one, though. Probably never even look at another. -Bob bassman10096 Senior Member Username: bassman10096 Post Number: 513 Registered: 7-2003 Posted on Saturday, July 31, 2004 - 6:59 pm:    Oops. Sorry...
