Everytime you post pics of your gear I thought about crimes I should have committed in my past lives! Excellent taste (as always) on this one, Tom!

Don't really know why I'm partial to this one, it could have something to do with the fact that It's coming home to me soon...

and now for a bass that isn't mine, but I wish was... the one and only Spruce Goose!

someday...

Is that a Pink Ivory fretboard? I was looking for fretboards with more than one coloring (like a spalted fretboard or something), like that fodera that I once saw a million pictures of and cant find again.

Some of those boutique custom basses are pretty nice, but I've always been partial to one of these

Yup- that's a pink ivorywood fingerboard. They can vary in color from a reddish-orangsih to bright pink to a darker red. They don't all vary though- more often than not you see builders use pieces of a single color for their fretboards, and the variations that are on the multicolor boards are smooth- not a drastic change like on most of the fretboards that show the sapwood. It's pricey, too!

Other fretboard woods that can have have multi colors are ebony with exposed sapwood:
