I'm a little reluctant to put this up for sale or trade, as I really do like this bass.
Not only does it sound and play amazing......it's simply gorgeous in person.
After owning a couple of basses with Redwood tops, there is a real significance this top adds to the tone that I really really like. The Macassar Ebony board really sings. I like it much better than jet black Gaboon. I also prefer the Emperor II body design over the Imperial. Seems to be more comfortable for me personally.
