I apologize for that quote. In my excitement of getting the bass, I based that statement on what I could find on the internet on the finish issue my bass has. I found a few statements about the the finish issue and stupidly worded it incorrectly. I have fixed that initial post.

Thank you for pointing that out, as well as all the other fantastic comments about the bass. It was a super find, and I am very lucky. It's getting a LOT of play time. :)

It keeps staring at me too! I can't stop playing it!!! :) Maybe it's the skunk stripe neck that gets me as well. Fingerboard and neck the same piece of wood. Outstanding! Thank you all for the bass compliments again!

I have played this bass every day since I first posted this. It is fantastic! When I raced home with it the day I bought it from craigslist, my wife said it was "ugly". 2 days ago, she called it my "girlfriend". :)
# of times the bass has complained since I got it: 0
# of times the wife has complained about something/anything since I got the bass: Look up Carl Sagan and googolplex. ;)
