Wow. I wouldn't have guessed myrtle for the top - definitely different looking than mine. It's gorgeous. My only preference would be for a maple fingerboard, but there's no discounting the beautiful look of the instrument. I'd guess the lower-mids are very warm on this bass.

Yeah, I love the look of that bass. I also suspect that the lower-mids are very warm.

Gard mentioned about that bass tone is kinda like "Jimmy Haslip recipe".
