This might be one of the nicest batches of tops Cliff has put up in a build yet! I am looking forward to this build.
I wonder if Cliff has any more of that Douglas fir left?
-ScottM
Yeah, I've never seen anything like that one before... kinda' reminds me of some of the redwoods I've seen, but still very unique.That Douglas Fir looks insane! Very nice
-ScottM
Not that I know of. When I found out how rare it was (and after missing out on that sweet 2 tone amboyna burl), I decided to pay just to reserve it. I've only seen the other CB with the Douglas Fir top and a Kubicki.

It's a pretty unique and high grade combo of tops for sure.
Here's the top I was talking about. Couldn't link it from work.

This right here is unreal......wow!
Beautiful!
I would looooooooove to hear this bass! I have been pondering a 4-string SCB Parallel Chamber; single pickup - wired straight to the output jack; 32" scale...with frets.

That Douglas Fir is killer looking. Such a unique grain.
Check it out:
If you would like to congratulate the owner, I found these pictures over here: http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f8/my-new-cb-bass-number-2-a-769168/.
Cliff...your skills as a luthier are most impressive. I'm dreaming of a fretted version of this bass!

For those owners of CB fretless basses, which strings do you use? I've been using DR Sunbeams on my non-CB fretless and see some minor signs of wear on the board (ebony). The CB I have on order will also have an ebony board, and I really don't want to mar it. I know I can go the flats route, but am very inexperienced when it comes to them (I've only ever tried one set -- Labellas on a P). Note: The CB I ordered will be a 5er, 34", set-up
E - C. Thanks.

I use LaBella tapewounds, but I'm finding that the D string must not have as much of a steel core as it sounds perfect through the piezo, but a little weak through the magnetic pickups.
If you really want to stick with roundwounds, you can get the fingerboard coated or go with a semi-synthetic fingerboard.
