Yup. They look great on AFG too.

It did have an unfortunate tendency to nose-dive, however.

And that's why Edwards AFB is called Edwards AFB.

My 21-fretter does the same thing, because the neck is longer.

But that V49 has one incredible bridge...

Now, here is a non-walnut peghead I like!



That's from a current ebay listing.

[elysrand]

Wow - flame maple wings! That figuring looks better than plain walnut for sure

[rickenbrother]

I like the flamed maple ears!

[elysrand]

Sorry! I couldn't seem to copy the listing and picture in the same post. I must have been doing something wrong!

[elysrand]

Thanks Kevin! They must have had some quality flame left over in small pieces, to have that kind of wood as the wings of the headstock and the more-unremarkable wood on the rest of the bass. Especially on the back, the wood is much darker on the neck-thru than the body wings.

Hey, send me an email! It has been a long time since I got that one or two from you....

[teeder]

Will do. Do you receive the emails from my yahoo addy?

Well, since it has been two hours since we posted these, and no email has come in, then I must not

I do get them from your work address (at least some of them perhaps?), but you sent an email once that said do not send them to your work address anymore because our emails were personal and they frown on your using business email for personal stuff

[teeder]

OK. I got busy and didn't send one from the yahoo, but will now.

[elysrand]

OK, I will watch for it! BTW, Happy 1700th post!
