Fun with Burls

[hippiesandwich]

That is, quite possibly, the single most beautiful instrument to ever exist.

Thank you very much. Chris really outdid himself on that bass, and the best part is it sounds even better than it looks! There are a bunch more pics of it here if you are interested:Link Removed
It even glows in the dark!

Man I love that bass. It's a 35" scale though, right?

it would be cool to have a gathering of all these 6 string burled roscoes and get a big picture of them lined up together like the f-bass and tuya burl pic.

just my 2 cents 'cause i'm bored Invalid Link Removed

Nice pic Adrian. Something about two burls curling up like that...

Well, here's a pic of one of my honeys (she happens to be here at the moment, had to leave her burlfriend at the studio last night).

Matthew,

Aloha from the other side of the world, Hawaii!!!

That's an awesome figured top, and on a fretless 7 string!

I can definitely say that I haven't anything like that one before.

Thank you Brian. I'm very fond of my blond beauty.

Fretless5verfan: Your Roscoe is a beaut too. I just love the Roscoe SKB shape. The only influence that it had on me in buying it was in my choice to buy that or the LG body shape. I know I wanted a Roscoe, but I don't like the LG body shape and that whole slanted pickup thing.

Thanks for the kind words about my Sei bass, I like it as well

Regards

Matthew

Ok I figured I would toss mine into the mix. Never played a better sounding bass. Ever. Probably never will.

Boy, and to think you were going to sell that bass before it was even finished. Learned your lesson?
