It's an EG (Elite 'G'). They're all neck thru.

beautiful bass man.. That's an awesome grain pattern in that ebony top. I often wonder how heavy those things are.

Ebony is a VERY heavy wood (5.5 Lbs. per Bd. Ft.) but oh so worth it! The total weight of the bass probably weighs somewhere in the vicinity of 12 Lbs. Like Ebony, Cocobolo is another VERY heavy wood but my favorite tone wood of all.

The ebony is not very heavy at all to me but I'm 6'3" 280Ibs so maybe that helps on the weight issue.

attached is a back photo for all interested.

Beautiful bass. How do you like what Ebony gives you tone-wise?

Hey Albert, don't you think this bass would be perfect for Ronson's next Smith?
