Hi there
 
Thanks for the serial number service.  I have a maple bodied Essence with a quilted maple top with matching quilt headstock (had for years).  I purchased it used, and have always wondered about its lineage.  Thanks again,  Greg High

Hi again
 
Quick question - if the bass was built for a NAMM show (which the person I purchased it from seemed to indicate, but he didn't have any details), what design decisions are made in wood selection and type of instrument?  Also, will the build sheet generally say the grade of quilt maple on the bass?  I sure love this bass - it took me years to finally get one, and it absolutely exceeds my expectations!
 
Thanks,
Greg

Hi Greg; welcome to the board!  Got any pics of your Essence?
