Title: 90 Distillate 5
Post by: facemo on May 02, 2007, 09:35:25 PM

I thought I would post a few photos so you all can see what she looks like today.  I think that a 17 year old bass in this condition is quite unusual.  I may need to replace the pickup selector switch but other than that, she is in great shape.  A totally amazing looking and sounding bass!  What a beauty!  She turns heads whenever I take her out to play!  (O;

Very nice.
 
How is the intonation on your B? Looks like you are out of room.

Gorgeous Distillate!  VERY colorful!  I love the concentrics on the Coco Bolo -and the... Mahagony?... back looks pretty too!
 
Thanks for sharing!

Fantastic bass, definitely (IMHO) the most beautiful Distillate on this board!

Congrats, what a beauty and in such great condition.  
Question: I see a plate on the back for the batteries but I can not see an LED switch on the front? Does this bass have LED's?

It's only recently that LED switches have become popular. Just plug in the 1/4 jack - that's the traditional LED switch.
