The neck and topwood look awesome together. If I had that bass I would miss a lot of practice time from just staring at it- lol. What are the woods in this baby? |

Not sure about the rest of it I'm afraid!

Nothing on the back of the headstock & nothing obvious in the control cavity? |

Ran it through a MarkBass 121 Mini combo with a Traveller 1x15 extension cab.
Got a surprising number of comments about how pretty she looked, all from non-musician audience people!
Sound on stage was great as well and I found myself playing a few little frills that I've only ever managed to stumble over on other basses - a good night all round

Awesome looking top Molan! I'm typically not crazy about tinted woods but that looks great!
The finger board looks cool too. I see where where it's splated maple but it sure looks a lot like African tulipwod.
Congratulations! |

I'm sure that it is maple....but it still resembles African tulipwood. |

Not as 'pretty' of course but sounds lovely nevertheless and more suited to what I need at the moment
