I like the oiled look, too, I did so on a '72 Jazz Bass back in the early '80s; it was a major PITA to remove the Fullerplast! The sunburst came off pretty easy but the under coat was really tough.Wildberry wrote:Jeff, I get what you mean - this model is simply showing what a lot of guitars hide (or at least mask) under lacquer. Table I took the pictures on is oiled oak... I guess I like oiled wood look!
The guitar reminds of a chopping board and weighs as much! The tone pot only turns 70 degrees = Duesenberg Speedpod. I think it is killing a lot of volume on the bass setting though. Both knobs work easily with your pink while playing!
But once I did get it all off the tung oil went on nice and easy and the bass bass still looks nice. A friend of mine has it now, with a Rick hi-gain pickup in the neck position.I like fast acting volume controls, makes it possible to do Keaggy style volume swells with ease.
Really?
