I know my bass is 2 weeks out, but is it too late to change my top to spalted maple?
Will it make me sound like Victor Wooten?
Hahaha..........

Nordstrand pickups, the wenge wedge neck, but there is one very unusual option on it, one you will rarely see on a "dealer stock" piece from us 19 mm string spacing at the bridge.
This is indeed one very tricked out bass, folks, and it lives up to the appearance, I really dug it. A lot. A whole lot.

Hahaha.......... | Sure, we'll just take that body and run it through the planer, shave that boring piece of bubinga right off it, drop a slab of spalt on top of it, carve it, and spray it, no sweat.
However, making you sound like Victor will also require one more option, the "hand transplant" option, and it's VERY expensive, and Vic won't like it....

I'm sure Keith still has a can of that lying around from the 80's........ |
