Am I the only one, ---but I just don't like the "stinger" bit in the omega cut. Now a heart shape omega--------that's real class G mele_aloha Intermediate Member Username: mele_aloha Post Number: 166 Registered: 1-2007 Posted on Monday, June 18, 2007 - 9:23 am:    Your Coco almost looks like chocolate flowing!

Of course if I owned this lovely bass with the coco bolo to to die for, I would learn to love it. dtrice Member Username: dtrice Post Number: 81 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Friday, August 31, 2007 - 2:01 pm:    I am also not a big fan of the "stinger". But other than that it looks like a beautiful bass. mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 4967 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Friday, December 07, 2007 - 8:21 pm:    The last few steps approach: aeijae New Username: aeijae Post Number: 5 Registered: 12-2010 Posted on Wednesday, September 26, 2012 - 10:26 pm:    I have a Mark King Bass right now in the making with the same body design. I'm curious to know how your bass feels with playability, balance and how you like the stinger point.
