Title: 02 SC Deluxe
Post by: ta2jon69 on July 23, 2003, 03:24:47 PM

This is a 2002 SC Deluxe.  The front is Walnut burl with a maple burl pickguard (my first bass, a Fender Musicmaster had a pickguard; while totally useless, I love the way it looks).  The body core is flame maple.  The back is cocobolo.
I couldn't decide which woods I wanted, so I tried to get them all on one bass.

In a word, well two words, WAY COOL! I love burled woods, someday I'm gonna have me a burled (walnut, maple, madrone or something else) bass!

Hey Jon, very nice indeed. What's the peghead, ebony?  Would like to see a full pic of the bass to put it all together. Bet it's a real dream to play.

The picture is kind of bad, but the peghead matches the body- walnut front & cocobolo back (I need a better digital camera).  This bass is so incredibly easy to play, I think it could make anyone sound good.  I can't believe one bass could sound to great

Cool, man ! This bass tells me: I am a beauty, no matter what you think. It really has understatement. And the burled wood looks great. I guess this bass has the worlds most expensive pickguard. Congratulations.

I'm a little late but I followed the construction of this little wonder in the Factory department.
Soooooooooooo cool man!
 
Paul the bad one
 
I guess you play with your fingers because the burled mapleis way too cool to guard pick ;-)
