I like the warm, heavy sounds...
She lost 15lbs since that shot.

So Jared you just picked up that one at Rhodes. It’s new isn't it? And it came with an unfinished board and if I’m not mistaken, walnut wings – thank you! Wow! wonder what happened there. Both my 4004Cii have finished boards - a 2003 & 2004. I'm actually considering another one. I just love these basses!
cheers

Andy-
yeah the MG came NIB from Rhodes and the pre-owned tranny red from POTR. Both came w/unfinished boards-which I like better-no finish lifting near the frets.
walnut wings on the MG
flamers on the TR

They are not unfinished. I think the fingerboard has a matte finish.

Ted, Can you explain how that neck thru is? It appears visible between the bridge and the strap button but nowhere else. Is the flame maple a top covering the neck and wings?

Geez, Ted, How many people have their basses in your house?
I wonder if my Blue Boy with gold hardware will have a gold TRC when it comes.

Hot!
Having said that, string gap on that beauty is wide. Makes me wonder whether the E and particularly the G string are correctly sensed by the treble pickup. The concealed, dual blade polepiece on that pickup is exactly 2 1/4" long, and so is the bar magnet providing gauss thereto. Have you plugged that bass in yet, Ted?

The Cheyenne belongs to an old friend. I helped is wife buy it for him as a surprise gift last year for his birthday. Some of you may have noticed that it came from Mike Parks. There is still a pic of it on Mikes website. It has to be one of the most beautiful CII's on the planet.
Actually, you are right Sergio. I have told my friend that and he hs thinking about adjusting the bridge to move the strings more in line with the pickup.

Ken: The flame top benefits from consistent graining across all three body segments. It is laminated but the grain magically matches. This is a rare combo. This Cheyenne is truly gifted. If it had Scott's headstock it would be the most spectacular CII I have ever seen. BTW The owner of this bass loves the flame of Scott's headstock.
