Ok ...the story goes that Brother Sam is ordering a new 5 string Excel with Darkgreen to yellow on AAAA-grade maple called Jamesonburst. There will be front and side leds in red. The only problem Susan has is that he wants the PU's colored bright RED.
 
Paul the bad one
 
 
hehehehehehehehehehe ...
 
 
oh yeah ...the SUBJECT ...this wonderful bass.
Well ...it surely will have a fine nose and a full bouquet with a fruity afterdrink ...
no ....wrong again???

Alright Paul, on my list of things to do this weekend: cut grass, clean sunroom, try Jameson whiskey...
 
Fine nose = quilted maple = attack and bright tone
Full bouquet = mahogany = warmth
Fruity afterdrink (I think they call it finish in wine circles) = purpleheart = sustain and low-end
 
Pinot will have all of that!

CHEERS ...I'll drink to that !
To Pinot!!!

Mica, I've been staring at the pictures of Pinot you published last week, and I continue to be astonished by that finish. When you buy a Fender, or Gibson 'bursted instrument, you get your run-of-the-mill sunburst. That Wineburst, I'm assuming Bob did, looks more like a Thomas Kinkade study in light, the bass just glows and radiates light and energy from its center. I'm sure that as is often said here, It looks better in person.  
 
Cheers, to everyone who has worked on Pinot, and I hope you all have a happy Labor Day weekend!

I thought I'd post some pictures, now that Pinot is mine! A, hah, hah, hah! )  I took it to a gig last night and freaked everybody visually, and sonically. This bass, is a hit! So, here's some pictures of Pinot at dawn, in my sunroom:  

 

 

 

  Good Golly, Miss Molly!
