JPJ Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 I just saw the question concerning the grain of the walnut top. Walnut usually shows a natural, somewhat swirly grain pattern, and a gloss finish will really bring out all of the various color striations in the top....streaks of black, dark brown, gray, green, tan.....I've seen it all. The figure that is intersecting the natural grain of the walnut in Willie's bass is a slight flame figureing, which can also be seen on the headstock. Therefore, you have a piece of maple that appears to have lines crossing, swirling, and intersecting all over the place. As for the bass, it was assembled today and will be in Sweet's hands for Christmas! Something tells me that the kids will actually be able to play with theie hotwheels and their transformers this year. I'm guessing that Sweet Willie's fingers will be attending to a different toy all-together. blueberryhillbass.com Blueberry Hill Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Capasso Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 Monday is perfect for me. Where should we meet after work, so I can come home with you and make sure the FoL is safe before you pick it up? JPJ - thanks for the answer about the grain/flame. Beatiful !!

_Sweet Willie_ Posted December 18, 2004 Author Share Posted December 18, 2004 Now that's a welcome sight to wake up to! Believe it or not, it was the second best thing I saw this morning -- the first was my daughter, whose birthday it is. 8 years old!!! (Carey, did you finish that 28" scale 4-string for her yet? ) All the knobs? 1. Volume (the most important -- I might have to switch the wood knob there for a black one. ) 2. P'up pan 3. Passive tone 4-6. 3-band active EQ And to think that I will wrap my fingers around that bass this coming week! Thank you, Carey! Peace. --Willie PS: Perhaps one day I will reveal what Carey scribed in the neck pocket. Maybe not. It's always nice to share a secret w/ your luthier. ... spreadluv Fanboy? Why, yes!

Peace. --SWOh believe me, I would have if you hadn't already said it earlier, although not by the exact name! Ok, how about Don't Kill The Whale? Oh wait, whales aren't fish. I got it. STARFISH TROOPER. Tidbit: You know how they came up with Schindleria Praematurus? While recording that song, and Mr. Squire having been dubbed "The Fish" due to his tendency for excessively long showers (by Bruford, with whom he usually shared a hotel room), somebody sent an assistant out to go find a suitable latin word for fish that they could sing. The resulting word is latin for the smallest species of fish. My site | Facebook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Sweet Willie_ Posted December 20, 2004 Author Share Posted December 20, 2004 Thank you, LD, for the S.P. trivia. I did not know that about Mr. Squire. I did, however, know that bit about the S.P. being the tiniest of fish. (Love that Google!) Watched Finding Nemo w/ my almost 4 yr old son today. Seemed fitting. Peace. --SW spreadluv Fanboy?
