i'm surprised no one caught that there are NO INLAYS on the Standard.

Actually, I did notice that - I paid for that bass about 15 years ago, but somebody spooked the LA-based seller about shipping it, and he didn't complete the transaction and returned my $$. Pissed me off royally, but glad that it's in a good home now until Chromium feels like selling it to me. /emoticons/default_biggrin.png

Definitely NOT me. I suspect it was Tony Babylon, he had something going on with the seller, trying to do one of his third party sales, just before I got it.

Looking forward to our next meeting. Want to get my hands on that Standard /emoticons/default_ph34r.png

 
That is one of the coolest, most classic Standards.  I'd go for a 3 ply white guard, myself, but that looks fantastic!

Are you thinking wt.bl.wt? It didn't come to my mind really. So I have checked pics on the net. Which show it indeed looks nice.

A shell style guard might add some nice tension to it optically. Brown and white both would be classics.

 
From one the recent 4-3-2-1 parties: two standards and an ultimate. Talk about your dots, no binding.

Life is good!

I do miss that '94 Standard 8 String, Jon...of course, it's impossible to play on a small/medium stage without taking out cymbals or mic stands!

Killer bass though...

Yeah, that is one of those that found me after I missed out on it when you first let it go.

Actually, all three of these 8-string Standards I missed the first time but they eventually found me.

Definitely not for small stages 😀

 
My reaction whenever I see the Standard thread bumped, and to almost any Standard I see:



 
Best threaad ever! B)

Just reminds of capturing what's on the stands right now.
