Did you go with Abalone ovals? - Tom ampeglb100 Member Username: ampeglb100 Post Number: 72 Registered: 11-2004 Posted on Thursday, July 13, 2006 - 7:35 pm:    No, I think it just has the standard ovals, I forget the correct term. Other than the coco bolo top & back, the chrome hardware, and the 32" scale it is pretty much "stock". I have a '91 34" scale flame maple top Europa right now, so this should augment that bass nicely. I really like the wood grain on this one though... and 32" should fly!

The straight approach on the back is pretty much what I went for on mine, but the flaring placement on the top is great. Almost looks like you've got a little of that sideways offset too, though it's hard to tell. Very nice. -Bob echo008 Advanced Member Username: echo008 Post Number: 213 Registered: 2-2003 Posted on Friday, July 14, 2006 - 6:08 am:    The wood grain is certainly beautiful, I love Dark/light cocobolo as compared to some of the more "orangish" shades. this one is a classic. - Tom ampeglb100 Member Username: ampeglb100 Post Number: 73 Registered: 11-2004 Posted on Friday, July 14, 2006 - 3:08 pm:    Yeah thanks guys. It like the best of both worlds, really - which is a nice surprise. The top being darker and flaring out vs. the back being lighter and more streaked. You can see the original peice of wood at the top of the coco bolo list, saturn's rings. Factory to Customer is so great!!! It makes the wait so worth it...
