Sorry about the two images...not sure how I did that (my first time posting pics). It would be nice to actually have two, but I don't think that I could afford it.....

Lucky for you that that's such a great lookin' bass. Otherwise we'd have to hunt ya down and slip bamboo under the fingernails of your frettin' hand. That's the sentence 'round these parts for double postin', pawdner.

Peace,

James

Shoot, and I thought it was one of those games where we had to figure out what was different between the two pictures... (wait - are those floor tiles reversed?).

Personally, I'm not much of an omega fan, but I've got to admit this is really stunning, particularly the bright center with the dark stuff in the outer regions, and the purpleheart contrast is really nice all around.

I should think one is plenty. Congratulations.

My, what a sweet, sweet bass... Congratulations, Chris!

Very nice bass. Welcome from another East Coast Epic owner, just a little further south. How about putting up pictures of the Epic?

I can't even begin to say how jealous I am! That is one of the coolest basses I have ever seen! Absolutely stunning! But then anyone who pays any attention to my single-minded ramblings will be aware by now that I'm a huge T.O. fan...still, this one REALLY rocks! Oh I wish I could afford the buckeye....BTW did I see this advertised at Bass Central?

eastcoastepic · « **Reply #7 on:** December 03, 2003, 01:05:32 PM »

Yes, Mr.Beaver Felton at Bass Central (great guy to deal with) ordered this from the factory earlier this year, and received it, I believe, in late October.I checked the price of November's featured custom at Ed Roman's, but I would have to mortgage everything I own (plus my firstborn) for that one. I was going to factory-order one in early 2004, and when I saw this, my heart skipped a beat or two. Beaver spec'd this one just right, and, while still quite pricey, made it much more obtainable. They do a nice job down there......
although this might be a bit exotic for some musicians, stunning and breathtaking is the only way I can describe this combination of woods & colors. I don't know whether to play it, or frame it & hang it on the wall..................

Sam - I posted a pic of my Epic over in the Epic section...I can't decide whether to sell it or not, as this Triple O put quite a dent in the cash flow, but it's in such good shape that I'd hate to part with it. By the way, nice Zebrawood! Chris

Chris about selling the Epic, DON'T! In a couple of months that urge will have passed, you will have survived, and you'll still have two great basses.

You're one lucky b*st*rd you know that?

That is simply BAD ASS!!!! I will have one someday.
