It's great - what can you tell me? Thanks, Simon. cosmicprune New Username: cosmicprune Post Number: 9 Registered: 11-2005 Posted on Wednesday, November 30, 2005 - 11:39 am:    Thought I'd post a picture too ... mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 2850 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Tuesday, December 06, 2005 - 1:46 pm:    I don't see the file but I'll guess it was recently pulled and not yet refiled for responding to another request while it was on eBay. From the picture, I'll guess: top: Vermilion* accent: Maple body Mahogany neck: Maple with Walnut pinstripes pickups: MXY controls: volume, pan, filter *The picture is dark, but it could also be Purpleheart or even Bubinga. I'm marking the request with (u) in the title, so we'll check for it from time to time. Sorry I couldn't give you more details. cosmicprune Junior Username: cosmicprune Post Number: 12 Registered: 11-2005 Posted on Tuesday, December 06, 2005 - 3:27 pm:    Thanks for looking. It was the top I was most curious about, as no-one seems to know what it is. Someone had even suggested it could be Coco Bolo, which would be nice! mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 2856 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Tuesday, December 06, 2005 - 4:38 pm:    Maybe you could post another picture of the bass that might show off the top more clearly. I don't think it's Coco Bolo, however. cosmicprune Junior Username: cosmicprune Post Number: 13 Registered: 11-2005 Posted on Tuesday, December 06, 2005 - 11:27 pm:    OK, here's another one. It has a lovely deep red lustre, which doesn't quite come across in the picture. mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 2859 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Wednesday, December 07, 2005 - 11:36 am:    It sure looks like Vermilion to me.
