The "Face" in your bass club.

Sign in to disble this ad
I introduce to you what might be the most brainless club on talk bass, the Face in your bass club: the title is self descriptive, If there is what looks like a face in your bass, or some other weird thing in the grain of your basses wood, then your in!
Let me start with mine... I bought a bass from a Luthier named Pavel de la fuente http://www.pavelmi.com/ He sent me some photos of my new bass, and i noticed what looked like a face in my bass.






Have fun.

If the face can be claimed to be of the appropriate person of religious significance, you can start a religious order and get tax free status in some places. Would face of Jaco or James Jamerson work?

I might be wrong but I thought it was the Mother Mary grilled cheese

You can thank Pavel De La fuente for that! (the guy who is building this bass, www.pavelmi.com) but who knew that tree beard was a Cocobolo tree!
