Well two '59's and a '61. I've been meaning to take some pics for a while and just found a spare 5 minutes for some quick snaps.........

Holy sh**! That's gotta be like fourty grand worth of basses! How's about a close up of the '61, especially the body.

Thanks John. I'm not sure why some people only consider these to be collectors' pieces. They play really well. Nice straight necks, low action and a great, great sound (IMHO of course).

That is nothing short of amazing Graham. I hope to see them in person some day.

I guess the '61 is the one with the walnut wings?

I would definitley love to play one of these someday.

Graham, do you have the pic you can post where I'm playing one of those basses in a London hotel?

I'm pretty sure that the currently available mandolin bridge covers from RIC will fit these. Where did you get so many? What's the story on these?
