Me neither, I dont like natural finishes, but the bass sounded so good I had to buy it, I'm very happy with it now.

That's a classic look, but I'm partial to the tort guard on natural finish too.

Wow, that's 100 times better looking now.


IMO, of course.


I'm right, but still, it's just my opinion.


100% correct opinion, but only an opinion, no matter how accurate it appears to be, and in this case, most definitely is.
