Nice.  But from an overseas, 0-feedback seller?

I hear ya.  Just wanted to let everyone know.

Yeah.  It's a sweet looking bass.  I like that vintage.  The wood looks like it's darkened in pretty well.

what is it that makes the wood go dark then?
 I notice it on my SC and Europa the maple neck woods are starting to get that aged look.
is it the light, the varnish or what?
