Nice bass, but a little pricey in this market, IMO. -bob bigredbass Senior Member Username: bigredbass Post Number: 1834 Registered: 9-2002 Posted on Tuesday, March 20, 2012 - 10:35 pm:    fjj, if I had to guess, I'd say flame koa top and faces, mahogany back, deluxe maple/purpleheart neck, Omega, and Europa electronics. I'd say MK as the neck pickup is backed towards the bridge, with that gap to the truss rod cover. Gorgeous flame koa, I'd think it would be a very smooth sounding axe with the koa/mahogany. IF the miles on it are as low as he says, not a bad price, but it could be a bit better. J o e y
