Well, Bob K. caught another great shot of my baby at our TomTom Tribute yesterday at The Met.

40 plus musicians gave up their Sunday to pay tribute to Tom Ardolino, the drummer for NRBQ, who passed away earlier this year at age 56. It was truly magical, 9 groups of players, 4 songs each, all NRBQ songs, all sounded amazing and it all ran on time from 4:00-9:00. We just wanted to thank Tom for his joy and influence on us all..
R.I.P Tom..

Thanks guys, BobK takes some magical shots. The gig was wonderful, and Pauldo you are right, Tom was truely a great drummer.. Art, thanks for the Series love, she has a special place in my heart. Almost 60 and still loving live music, it does't get much better that a good crowd and great music.

What an stunning bass!!!!

Thanks guys, I just love the Koa... elegant and understated. Almost all original, the Hat Knobs are newer ones from Mica, I still have ones she came with, they have age cracks and I was afraid I might lose them. No upgrade, but, she is dead quiet...

Hi Ken,
Just wondering,
Does this bass have an inner core, [sandwiched between the Koa] and if so what type of wood?

lembic76450 · « **Reply #26 on:** March 16, 2014, 12:38:53 PM »

Glen, she is semi-hollow, the top and back are Koa and the sides are Mahogany. I see you have a '76, are they close in birthdays?

roymus · « **Reply #27 on:** March 17, 2014, 01:44:28 AM »

The '76 was stolen from me around 1993 and I am not quite sure of the number anymore but I think it was 676.
I really like the look of the similar colored core to the top , not so common on series basses.

That is a really beautiful bass!
Any chance of a close up of one of the oval inlays?

Keith, Thank you, I will try, a couple of them are really sweet, but, you have to get the light just right.
