Don't know if many of you remember this bass or if "Stoney" is still haunting these message boards but back in August 2004, almost 6 years to the day, i took possession of Stoney's custom Essence...and what a bass. Walnut core Tulip wood top laminate 5 piece neck Signature Electronics Red side LED's. MoP Neck Inlays Purpleheart & Maple Laminates around the neck & body Original thread. Im still playing and recording with it and it still surprises me. The main comment i get from other bass players is how much i can change the tone without touching the controls. I have tried many basses over the years but this one could almost have been made for me. Thanks Stoney....and no you can't have it back....well not just yet. The other pics didn't do the wonderful Tulipwood justice so i will take some more later. A few pics of Stoney in action.. Oh and although a dodgy mobile phone video here is a link to Stoney in action. You Tube Vid.
