If you integrate wood from an antique "embalming crate" into a bass, will it prevent dead spots on the neck?

Mahogany fretless acoustic Kala U-Bass. I don't even play bass anymore but still want this, so I went ahead and ordered.

Having a six string single cut of my own design built by John Reuter an instructor at The Roberto Venn Luthiry school. It's been almost a year and the wait looks like another 3 months left. It's been killing me but I get to go over and see the progress and it is a real work of art.

I'm waiting on my fretless precision with P/J pickups, it will be done in march, but I'm also waiting upon the return of my Lakland Joe Osborn neck wich will be back in a day and a half, the luthier is copying it for my fretless.
It will be a Paul Turner (Jamiroquai) style bass, white with matching headstock, binding, lines, red tort precision pickguard, alder body, maple neck with ebony fingerboard. Dreaming of it every night...

Thanks man! I really wanted this bass to be an end-all be-all for me so I spent HOURS searching the net for exactly the right woods. What's even cooler is there's going to be a trans black stain on the burl, which will only adhere to the softer parts of the wood, so it will get a crazy two-toned effect =D Every time I look at these pictures it makes my stomach hurt i want it so bad! lol!

I have had a fretted 4 string Wal Mark II with a Birdseye Maple top on order since April. I have another year to go (ETA next November). I try not to think about it but threads like this make it real hard. Thanks.

That Cataldo is something else! Fortunately you've got a couple of other Blue NR's to keep you company until tomorow!

As for me, I'm eagerly awaiting my new Gibson Pelham Blue NR which is set to arrive shortly. I've been waiting for a PB NR since I first saw one in a coffee-table book 17 years ago.

hey Kwesi,

Does Darren have a website or FB page for his basses? I really liked playing the ones he brought to the last GTG, and was jealous of the guy who won the GTG giveaway bass.

Can I just sleep until it's done? This is not how life should be, lol. I'm gasing for a bass that's mine but not actually mine yet!
