    Thanks wokka! Yes this one is for me, it would be a good bass for The Jephasuns.

    Saw this on my email feed and thought CG = Conch Girl. Slightly disappointed... but not in that finish BG, looks amazing.
    Cheers,

    No Adam - only Tele's deserve Conch Girl - I don't think DB would allow someone with a bass kit to buy it...

    First burst attempt on the front. Shot in the early morning sun, for added impact.

    Nah, I want it a little redder still. Plus it's a bit messy- needs a tidy up.
