    Hey Brutus,

    Love the pics! Thanks for posting!! How does she sound?

    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?

    Here we go........tbone

    My apologies for miscontrueing your post. I noticed on your posting that you have 2 requests. I felt they were directed specifically to my post, unaware that that's a feature to all your posts. I'll try not to be so sensative, but iv'e got an Earthwood to protect!

    The sound is great! Those Earthwood re-issue rumors are running wild. Maybe a factory s.w. Michigan near the lake? Seriously tho, they are in demand.

    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!

    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.

    Wow. My '91 B30 could have a new buddy. Or it would hiss viciously at it. I've got a GC card that desperately wants to be maxxed, here.

    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.

    Brian Ritchie / Femmes / Earthwood

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