Body is flamed walnut, 1/4" maple separator laminate, and a mahogany back.

That is so cool how the figured wood changes to a lighter shade starting near the bridge and continues in a "V" pattern towards the neck. I dont think I'll ever see another one like that again. Totally incredible Dan. neyman Junior Username: neyman Post Number: 12 Registered: 7-2002 Posted on Thursday, February 17, 2005 - 8:03 am:    Thought I'd update this post with a new pic! davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 1375 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Thursday, February 17, 2005 - 8:52 am:    This is a really nice bass! marcm Member Username: marcm Post Number: 80 Registered: 12-2003 Posted on Thursday, February 17, 2005 - 9:55 am:    hi dan that's a very beautiful flamed walnut top, and the thick maple accent sets it off very nicely from the mahogany. it's never late for congratulations, so, congratulations! obviously it was worth the wait what are the controls? marc dadabass2001 Advanced Member Username: dadabass2001 Post Number: 327 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Thursday, February 17, 2005 - 10:47 am:    Marc, I've got an '81 Distillate. The controls are what is now called Europa controls: 4-way pickup selector (standby, bridge, both, neck); volume; filter; q switch; bass cut/normal/boost; and treble cut/normal/boost.
