#1416 Maple Lyre Photos
A very unusual bass here owned by some bloke called Wishnevsky! Definitely an unorthodox design, but the first things that hit me out the box is how good this bass sounded acoustically. It came to Davesbassplace from North Carolina for a basic refin. It was a lot of fun and the size of this bass added interest!
The bass has maple wings, with a walnut, maple and mahogany neck and purpleheat ‘board. Post refin this bass sounds just as good!
