I disagree in part. It depends on the bass color/finish and photo environment. This pic was taken with a flash.  The picture quality was limited to fit on this board. The real problem is that a lot of people don't know how to use a flash.  
 
I'm thinking about getting a Brown Bass real soon.

I completely agree with you!
My Plea-ea-ease was for those most occuring cases that the flash is incorporated into the body of the camera. You can partly correct it by using what u do: tipping the bass to one side and tilting back. So the reflection of the flash is in one corner of the instrument so is the case with your absolutely beautiful instrument.  
Most of the time however is when you take a picture on a dark surface, measuring exposure on the surface of the bass, working under a high clouded sky at noon. Of course you can do this with a professional flash-ceiling or work in a flah-tent but than we are on a professional road.
 
Paul the bad one
 
BTW: by taking the pictures of Bonnie I did wrong taking them in fall-afternoon sun: the light is too warm

Paul TBO, if you just sort of sneak up on the bass with flash you will be ok.  However, the quality of the light and size of the flash is important.  Keep the setup simple. I use a single 3' x 4' box with consistant results.
