Coronado Wildwood II... great pics
« on: December 03, 2010, 01:21:07 AM »
Olivia's have done it again... tons of great pics. This thing is pretty. I never knew they had special engraved thumb rests.

Now that is in choice shape! I've seen a couple of Wildwood guitars up close in the last 10 years but not a bass, so I don't remember engraved thumbrests.

Now all it needs is an engraved counterweight on the tailpiece to cure the neck dive.

It has a strap knob on the back of the headstock, so there's really no point in doing that Dave ........  :mrgreen:

I actually tried playing mine that way once. Kept the neck from diving but the bass still tried to rotate forward. It was awkward, to say the least.

This is the bass that started my fascination with restoration. I would love to find one . That is a beaut!

Buyer was in Belgium.  Makes me wish I still had mine that I bought in 1978 for $218 including the case.
