Earthwood

[brutus]

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

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.

earthwood is such a great name and it is already established thru the acoustic strings.

And the violent femmes...

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.

What would happen if Dudley and I somehow started working on Earthwood? hehehehe

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.

To your point, the Earthwood CAN supply a hearty low end. This one spent nearly 20 years with a 3-piece to include an accordian and saxaphone, playing the Win Schulers circuit.

[Bassmedic14]
