Did I hear BP is reissuing the Earthwood? What about colors? Can I get a fretless? Oh, and a lefty for The King? What about wood types?

Green sparkle Earthwood with an 18v preamp and a Gamechanger, baby.
I'm in.
earthwood is such a great name and it is already established thru the acoustic strings.
And just when I went a bought an expensive acoustic bass, because they don't make Earthwoods no more...

trussrod adjustment:
Click here for an image!
less relief / flatter = lower action
more relief / bow = higher action
do NOT use cheap tools to adjust with. they might break and scrape up your pressious!
also, if you are lucky enough to have a 100th namm sr4: the truss works the other way around on that one!
BP is always droppin' something new in here in regards to hints...........we,being Knuckleheads,have to try and figure out what the hell he is saying between the lines.......
very nice bass you have man.......would love to own one myself.

Thanks everybody for your remarks. It is truely a remarkable piece! Whenever I take it out of the gig bag i always hear the same two words, "Gawd Dam"! Yes, even the Christians.
BP, I am certifiable idiot on occasion. My only redeeming quality....... I own an Earthwood.
I have enjoyed using the "search" function to learn of it's history. Quite interesting. I know mine was a "working" bass by the wear. Trying to find out who put the mileage on.
no problem Brutus...just done pm me or add me as a friend on Facebook! hehehehe
Two requests, please
Please contact customer service prior to posting instrument issues
Please don't PM me
Thanks
Please dont add me as a friend on facebook....my life is an open book here as it is.
Thanks for the hint BP! Thankfully.... i'm not the kind of person that would waste the time of anyone dedicated to the notion of reviving the Earthwood to once again regain the hopes and dreams of acoustic bassist everywhere.
Don't worry about the cost. It will pay for itself. The hype, in itself will have positive extrapolations.
as an owner of an acoustic bass guitar that is "useless" unplugged when played with any other instrument.... earthwood returns???? yessss!

Mentioned to Brian on Facebook that Sterling dropped a hint re: Earthwood. He'd love to talk to Sterling about it.
