I called the Bass Centre in London and they got hold of two examples from the distributors; 1 Walnut (the one I bought) and one in a great quilted maple. I have to say that as soon as I saw the Walnut bass I fell in love. They did such a great deal that the marriage was sealed. pas Junior Username: pas Post Number: 31 Registered: 3-2003 Posted on Friday, April 15, 2005 - 9:56 am:    That Walnut is beautiful. I'm still a confirmed Cocobolo man...but that Walnut is sweet! Is it a standard 34" long scale? alanbass1 Junior Username: alanbass1 Post Number: 16 Registered: 4-2005 Posted on Friday, April 15, 2005 - 10:13 am:    Yep, it's 34" long scale with LED's which are cool (first time for me so I love switching them on). The bass looks so much better than captured on camara. I'm going to go for some outside shots at the weekend as the flash seems to make the colour look a little anaemic. mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 2381 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Friday, April 15, 2005 - 2:12 pm:    If you note the serial number on the thread, I'll check and see if I have reference photos of your new bass that I can add to the thread. alanbass1 Junior Username: alanbass1 Post Number: 17 Registered: 4-2005 Posted on Friday, April 15, 2005 - 11:49 pm:    Thanks Mica.
