Thanks Albert

This is a simple Tiger Maple core and back with a Walnut top, and Morado fingerboard.

I actually don't remember exactly what year it was made, but if I recall correctly it was made in 2001 (the documents are stored in a quite hard to reach place, sorry..)

I play mainly Rock and Alternative music, but a lot of Pop, Funk, R&B, Reggae, Dub and electronic music as well. This bass is so versatile, I play all these styles with it, and it never lets me down

Hello,

i don't have any spectacular shots of my bass yet, but here is one from the Copa Cabana, NY.

I cannot stress enough how much this bass handles business. Killer neck, light weight, comfy standing (crucial for me), and musical, superb tones all across the neck... It can really growl, or be nice and soft and musical... yum!

Roberto, you have no idea how close I came to buying this bass. You've got a keeper and it sounds like it's in great hands.
