1977 Earthwood ABG (second try) Pics

Sorry about the earlier thread. I finally figured out how to work photobucket. LOL! Anyway, here is my new prize, my 1977 Earthwood ABG. What a big, punchy, boomy, warm tone. It's huge as you can see in the pics, but it's definitely my favorite. If you have any information on these old basses since there is limited info on the web, I would gladly appreciate it. Or if you just have a comment thats cool too....... Steve

Nice bass, congratulations
