Warmoth mahogany body, Warmoth figured maple neck with ebony board, good quality hardware, Carvin H-50 pickup, straplocks (placed so the guitar actually balances perfectly on the strap). There are a couple of MINOR cracks in the finish. The signatures are under clear plastic to protect them; seemed like a good idea at the time. Gig bag included. Asking $950 plus shipping; interesting trades considered. benhighmountain@aol.com v bass front flying v bass front 1.bmp (145.3 k) benson_murrensun Junior Username: benson_murrensun Post Number: 26 Registered: 5-2007 Posted on Friday, March 07, 2008 - 12:21 pm:    v bass back flying v bass back 1.bmp (145.3 k) jagerphan84 Advanced Member Username: jagerphan84 Post Number: 260 Registered: 10-2003 Posted on Monday, March 10, 2008 - 1:49 pm:    Here's a resized pic of this bass which Ben emailed to me. edwin Advanced Member Username: edwin Post Number: 309 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Monday, March 10, 2008 - 6:26 pm:    Put a couple of Dark Stars on there and you'd really have something!

Maybe a turbo-boost gauge... altimeter, etc. tbrannon Senior Member Username: tbrannon Post Number: 668 Registered: 11-2004 Posted on Tuesday, March 11, 2008 - 10:45 am:    Benson, You want a Flying V bass with lots of knobs? check this custom over on Talkbass: http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=413768&highlight=flying edwin Advanced Member Username: edwin Post Number: 311 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Tuesday, March 11, 2008 - 11:45 am:    Don't forget to get the big boots and the eyebrows to go with it!
