Katalox (katalosh) is a fabulous fingerboard wood. It's similar to ebony but with a warmer top end.

I am currently listening to, what I think is MrWalker, in the sound sample section of the site, a tune called Rio Amazonas.
What a beautiful piece of music.
Was this piece composed by MrWalker ? I am not having much joy on youtube, but maybe it is called something similar?

Katalox is indeed a great fingerboard wood. Have that on my Roscoe 7. Really looks incredible as well.
In other news today, 208 was delivered, and she is a beauty, i can now see first hand why Tom has so many repeat customers. Cant wait to get back home and plug her in. Ill try and post pics at some point tonight.

I would love to see some examples of Katalox, but I cannot search anymore
Looking forward to more pictures of the 7 string Kim

Hello, and thanks!
Rio Amazonas is originally composed by the Finnish guitar player Lakki Patey and released on a record issued by him and Norwegian Øystein Sevåg, a keyboard player. For me, this song became a "theme song" from my adoptions (my two kids are adopted). On this performance, I used my 6-string Anne chambered bass, with the use of a Boss RC-2 loop station and my synth controller (on the bass).
Here's the song on youtube
I think the Kim body looks great and it will be my 2nd Clement. It will be a 6 string. It was that 7 string that made my mind up. I am trying to work out the wood combinations, and I like the idea of using Bubinga and or Katalox
Sorry to quote my own post, but what about " Cocobolo "

Looks great man. I think it'll be a really understated but elegant looking instrument. Very nice.
Hiya Wavey
Is your offer still available mate ? If so can you message me your email address so that I can send you a picture ?
I have a cocobolo fretboard on #94. I have no idea where Tom found it but he offered it to me for my bass and I accepted immediately. It looks great- you can kind of see it in the pics I put up in post #21 of this thread.
94 is a real harlequin- its made up of seven different woods: ash body, black accent veneer (anigre I think) burled redwood top, cocobolo fretboard and a 5 piece neck-center of bubinga, 2 thick wenge stringers and 2 outer pieces of walnut.
Back OT though, cocobolo can be absolutely gorgeous! Swirls of black and scarlet-it can be amazing. But I think someone already said-its also pretty darned expen$ive!
Thanks for posting that mate, and I will agree #94 has got a great neck.

Damn man how 'bout we strap a brick to it to add more weight?
Well, I forgot to mention that this bass would have one single Q-tuner pickup...less weight than two pickups.
