Welcome Gary and thanks for sharing that story with us. You really did get lucky with that. If you are selling, I hope it goes to a member of this forum because it truly is unique.

Welcome to the forum, Gary. I'm not usually a fan of Mapleglo except on the 4004 series, but that is a beautiful exception!

Welcome Gary!
I'm intrigued that the factory destroyed Gary's first bass completely and didn't salvage the figured wings..... Maybe sanding off the clearcoat was too expensive

I cannot imagine what beautiful woods you have seen Mr. Hall. Are you, like many of us, smitten with special examples of figured wood?

Beautiful quilted maple!
I am blessed to have several acoustics with quilted maple...I love that three-dimensional quality!

I've always wondered if that bass was made with Western Big Leaf Maple (where quilting is much more common) instead of Eastern Hard Rock Maple. It's definitely spectacular though...
