Here are a couple of shots of my new Series II (#12837) with a Europa body and a Quilted Cocobolo top. The wood is much more beautiful in real life -- and she sounds better than she looks!   A closer look...  Careful -- don't fall in!  And check out the headstock...  (Message edited by s_wood on January 05, 2003) (Message edited by s_wood on January 06, 2003) | ||

The quilted Coco Bolo is about as nice as it gets. Ive only seen it on one other guitar that was featured as a custom of the month I think. Both of those tops look great online, I wonder how much better it looks in real life? | ||

I saw some quilted coco bolo up at Alembic a couple of weeks ago...it does look unbelievable up close, even unfinished...I think they have enough for one or two more instruments and that's it...if I win the lottery (7000$ for top & back, I believe) before they run out I'll have a bass made with it...

Hi Steve, Just curious what the thickness of your body laminates are and what the total thickness is? | ||

Nice series bass! That quilted coco bolo is definitely looking GOOD. I bet it sounds Great too... What's the layout for your controls? | ||

Yes, the bass sounds HUGE! Sometimes, when no one is looking, I just hit the open "A" string and let it ring, over and over again... The electronics are sort of the standard Series II controls...with a tweak. Each pickup has its own filter control and variable Q control, and there's a master volume (all standard on a Series II). The tweak is that I replace the standard volume control for each pickup and pickup selector switch with a master volume and pan control, which to me is simpler arrangement. | ||
