Sorry about not being able to get the exact fingerboard, suprisingly hard stuff to get a good pic of,

Did we ever figure out what that top wood is?

Just so everyone else knows, it's a piece of wood that Bobby bought on his own and is going to send to Roscoe to use for his next bass. Pretty cool!

Wow!

If the top looks anything like the rendering it'll be killer!
Congratulations!

Great job on the Photoshop work (as usual) Bill!

I'm not usually a big fan of the spalted purple heart boards (pau ferro on my LG), but it looks killer with that top! Is it Ziricote?

Love the top!

That top is too cool for heavy music Bob. You get that and you'll have to make a run at challenging some of the Jazz 'Heads.

No more Jeans & Chucks. Tails & Top Hats only.



God Bless, Ray
