i've never really cared for that type of wood, i'm not sure what the hell it is but i know i've seen it on something else and i didn't like it. i think it's chestnut. that and anything spalted and sometimes even burled woods look like someone puked on them to me.
Looks good to me! Someday I will have a bass made out of exotic woods that looks as nice as that one! jtbp
That top is a little much for me. I like my plain ole Flamed Maple top!! BTW... the pickups are Duncan single coils. They are a 195.00 option. Dan
The top on that one is burl Buckeye. I like it. First of all, the fact that it is BLUE WOOD . I like the idea though of taking wood that is moldy (spalted) or from, uh, whatever it is that causes burls, and making something beautiful out of it. Those spalted maple Sadowskys from the other thread are amazing! I was set on cocobolo for my next bass, now I'm not so sure. . .
I like this one... Click Here It's a lighter buckeye burl. I do prefer the darker blue burl - it looks like marble. My DP Custom 6 will have the darker burl. Jeff
