What are some crazy woods that would look cool on a bass that no one else has?

Chinese elm body and neck with Sandalwood fingerboard.

Well they make floors out of it so why not basses?

Bamboo basses do exist.
I've seen coconut tops on guitars but never on bass.
It IS a crazy wood and it's even worse if you cut across the fiber.

I just sold a Warwick streamer stage II with Wenge and Afzailia does that count? lol I know wenge isn't that OMG but between that and the African wood I get strange looks every time I tell someone what it's made of :P.

The lead singer/guitarist in a long ago band I was in had an axe made of cyprus wood. One of those twisted, knarled up trees you think of in a creepy foggy swamp where witches live. It was a cross-cut slab with the bark still around the sides and it happened to be in the general shape of a guitar body. One of the coolest I've seen and certainly one of a kind.

Sorry, no pics.
