Todd , That is a very nice family of fine instruments . All in the beauty and splendour of such gorgeous wood. The spirits of the trees must be happy that they live on to play beautiful music. Good fortune for all . Those shorties must play as good as they look. |

Each of the basses is an extraordinary player - low action, consistent tone up and down the neck and very fast. Left out my Koa 82 long scale series 1, my 59 anodized P Bass, and a few others, but the natural wood finishes belong together! Thanks, Todd |

The top on the '82 looks very nice! |

Thanks Dave - matched flamed Koa (a rarity) is better in person than the picture shows- you just want to pick it up and than the lightweight is the first thing that hits you followed by the perfect low action. (Message edited by toddharris on July 04, 2010) |
