highly figured maple.... phooey!

Look at this, then go throw up, then.

I know this is a felony on this here forum, but I dislike the shape of the non-Fender-styled Laklands immensely, unless they have pickguards. As for the quilt, give me tiger stripes over golf shirt quilt any day.

I'm pretty happy with the fretboard of the Bee I'm about to get...

Cool.

Wow i have never seen thst much figure in a fingerboard before, is the neck figured as well?. All the best with it.

There's always going to be blue-collar tastes and white-collar tastes. That's just the way it is. I'll reference these two fine sports cars. Which one do you guys prefer?

You are right about that golf shirt thing.

PWND!

I like the understated elegance of this quilt (sorry Brian, couldn't help it):

It looks like someone sank a nice bass to the bottom of a shallow pool...

As much as I love Benaventes, the uber-quilt 9 string is the absolute height of "lack of taste" when applied to building. It's kind of along the same lines as a 1st grader doing a craft and putting gold sparkle all over the entire paper.

EDIT: Oh, the attachement is a fiver. Al Caldwell has a 9 banger he uses with Vanessa Carlton with the same uber-quilt thing going on. But yeah. Total lack of taste in both basses.

actually, I didn't know the fretboard was going to have that kind of figure when I ordered it from Fred! to answer your question, though, nope. no figure in the neck. just plain ol' maple! thanks for the nice words, MM. I can't wait to hear this baby!

from the lows,
