Fin(n)ish influences even economy.

Always liked the Standards better than the Artists

Finsh influences weight - have we discussed that here yet? We really should.

You joke, but bondo's a lot heavier than wood.

I guess a black bass absorbs more sunlight, while a white one will reflect it. So a black bass must be heavier.

So, the RD has made it from the seller in Wales to the 3rd party shipping forwarding company in London that I'm using.  It saved me more than $250 on shipping by using the 3rd party.  The shipping forwarders took a photo to show me that the seller has packaged it well.

I'm expecting the bass to arrive downunder around the middle of next week.

If the bassist is a bit on the heavy side, the black is somewhat slenderizing............................

Chris has no weight issues. He says so himself. 

[Freuds_Cat]

No, Wait!  If the bass is black then it is the bass which will look more slender. This of course means the player will look bigger. Hey Grog, how are you off for black jeans and T-shirts?

Sounds stealthy............. The last time I did that, I wore a new pair of white tennis shoes, screwed up the whole camo thing!

OK, my black RD Standard arrived today from the UK.  Where is the serial number located on these?  I expected the usual stamped serial number on the back of the headstock as per other Gibsons, but I can't see a serial there.  When I get home tonight I'll pull the control plate and check the pot codes.

[Highlander]

Back of the headstock is where it should be...

That don't sound right...?
