Mica, Two questions. What can you tell me about my bass? I'm enclosing a picture. Serial # is 81D1996USA. I purchased it at Indianapolis Guitar center in January 2003. Plays and sounds great. I also have ordered a buckey burl custom fretless in progress now. How do I get info on it's progress.81 distillate quilted maple top
