My Bass
I just took a pretty good picture of mine and felt like showing it off.

Sure thing,
It will look like crap because of the exposure. I took that shot in the dark to test out the ISO and aperture settings on my camera. It came out real yellow-red looking so I put it through a Sepia filter to tone it down a touch.
Just to let you know the wall in the background is supposed to be white. Photoshop is a wonderful thing.  Last edited by IanMcElroy; 03-02-2008 at 01:28 AM. Reason: added a setnence: "just to let you know" / Fixed grammar / added picture.

The Bass Story
Well, since you asked.
I've had it for about a year now but it's from mid 2005. My good friend Dan had one made for him in 2004 I think. He had it for a year but he left it at his Church and it was stolen from the store room along with mid 1960's Strat. I started working at his old Job when he quit and I ordered him the new one when the insurance money came through. He had a kid, bought a house, and got married in the time that it took the bass to get there and canceled the order from us so he could have the money to buy stuff for his family. So about two years goes by and I have some money saved from gigs and I start thinking about a new bass. I remember the first time a came to Ken's webpage, when I was about 16, thinking "man I can't wait to get one of those". So I call Ken. I really like Koa but with its prices the way they are and how hard it is to get a good piece we started talking about a Black Tiger. It was sort of a compromise but a really good one and I was happy. The way that the Chain that I worked for works is that it has central buying so I had to call my Head Office to get a price and okay it with them. I called and they said, "We've got a Koa BSR4GN here if you want it". It was the replacement Bass for Dan!!! It was sitting a warehouse for over a year hanging out with a bunch of boxes. I took it and got a real good price on it and that's how I got my bass.

BMT 4 Morado ?
Coming soon into my arsenal: a New Old Stock (!!) BMT 4 Elite:
  the serial number is BMT4R... Does that mean Morado top ? The back looks like Zebrawood, is that true ?

Morado?
The top looks like Morado. Not certain about the back though; possibly Morado. Doesn't look like a Zebra wood back to me. Fretboard also looks like Morado (Pau Ferro).
Ken?
