    my kind of neck too: rockwood...AKA phenowood. the curbow site gives a GREAT explanation of how phenowood is made.

    i looked on the curbow site...and the retail prices of these are way up there.

    bassalone has this for around $2800...quite a deal, i'd say.

    also, the site says nothing about a piezo bridge...so, this might be quite a catch!!!

    one of the FEW zebrawood basses i've seen that i like.

    ah, but those damned LINES...at least they are dark. and with a 6 string 33 fretter, probably comes in handy.

    With 33 frets, who needs a 7-string? Nice top. I like it.

    Hey fred, ever see that almost Black on Black Curbow 7 that was at Bass Exchange a few months back? That was my favorite Curbow ever. Probably wouldn't play it, just grab a glass of vino, get a comfy chair and just look at it ;)

    I just got finished playing my Int'l Petite 5, and I still think Curbows are some of the nicest basses, if not the nicest basses I have ever played.
    This is probably my favorite that I have seen:

    I'll be using the same wood (madrone burl) for the back of my 6 string fretless Curbow.

    And, the back:

    Curbow's site is being updated as we speak. When it's done, it'll have a couple of hundred photos of different basses--wait'll you check out the Pearl White fretless Bootsy Star bass he built for a guy in Ohio. It's crazy!
