Triple damn would do?

We saw that bass a lot. It is a prototype 4004CII. Notice the maple fingerboard and tung oil finish. The body is the half and half type with maple on the front and walnut on the back.

It did play pretty nice, too. I picked it up and played it for a bit and then handed it to Paul Boyer to try, but I think he just wanted to take it home, so he put it back on the stand.

Yeah, we saw that in the factory museum last year. It has some of the features of the early Cheyenne II: walnut on the rear of the body wings and the lovely quilted maple top. But the maple fretboard is a carryover from the Cheyenne I, and the semimatte (or is it semigloss?) finish may be unique to this instrument. I've seen a couple of other heavily quilted Cheyenne IIs, but these had the lowered pickups and bubinga fretboards. These were all previous to the Cheyenne IIb (if I may coin the designation) where body construction went to the maple/walnut/maple sandwich.

All fodder for the book.
