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?

Without question that bass would be a wise choice for Ronson, like Texas and hats, there made for each other.

I thought you might think so. But remember, there is that issue of who gets it in the end!

Haaaaaaaaaaa! Ya'll guys are something else!

I can just imagine you two turning up in town, and introducing yourselves to my wife: "Hello, Mrs. Hall. We drove all night to get here, and to tell you that Ronson was our BOY! (sniff, sniff...) Ken's Corner just won't be the same without him! (sniff, honk! Sniff, sniff...) Now, could you show us to the room where he left his Smiths???

Hilarious!

David, are my eyes playing tricks on me (I am getting older) but the wings on your bass look a bit slimmer than mine, what year is that model.

Tim and I both would love to have your Bass Ronson, no doubt, but on the real, were glad to have you here with us and in true fellowship.

When I get it back from Ken I'll let you know, just from the photo it appears to me that his wings are proportionately smaller, it might be just my weaning eye sight. LOL
