Tobaccoburst? Cool, I was wondering how an Alembic tobaccoburst finish would look. I was thinking that a medium scale Europa would look great with that. (Message edited by AltGrendel on November 24, 2008) | ||

Sadow..whoski? Just look at that bass! Far surpasses the reference standard(Sadowski)of the reference standard(Fender). Pre CBS ofcourse. I think unmolested or any tint will look great on this piece. Traditional triple burst would be a jaw dropper.IMHO. Good luck with this bass whatever color you go with. | ||

This is quickly becoming my favorite bass under construction. I have always loved Jazz basses. Put on whatever finish you like,you're going to probably have this beauty for a long time. Regards, Pete | ||

The burst is going to look great. Interesting control layout. My guess is Volume, Pan, Filter, Q switch, LED switch, side mount jack. | ||

Great looking bass danny J. Cant wait to hear you play it, unless you treat it like one of your collector cars and dont drive it | ||

Elan headstock would look better IMHO (Europa headstock seems a bit too small for this body) but it's still fantastic! | ||

I don't know... I think we're just all so used to seeing those big honkin' Fender pegheads that it takes a minute to recalibrate. Also, the perspective of the above pictures will make the peghead look smaller than it actually is. I think it will look as good as it will sound - both fantastic! | ||
