I LOVE spalted maple

[Lonnybass]

Lookit all that lovely spalt! Makes me wanna order a spalted milkshake with a side of chocolate covered spalt balls!

I don't have any spalted basses, but I did find these lovely knobs:

This is an amazing find! I'm definitely going to order some to go with my new bass.

Great thread. Now we need a burled thread or a spalted vs burled thread.

Still a long way out from completion but this spalted flamed beast already has me doing double takes.

I do miss my Spalted Maple Modulus Genesis...

That said- if anyone know's where it currently resides, I'd appreciate a heads up... Like a fool I sold it in 2003 to someone on bassgear.com and promptly lost the contact info...

Doesn't this look classy?

This just might be my all-time favorite bass.

I love spalted maple, too, with a medium or maybe even darker trans-orange dye. Definitely the main utterance belonging to a feline.

What's that fingerboard?

I sold my Spalted Maple fretless for this:

1979 Alembic Series I Spalted Walnut

What's that fingerboard?

Cliff, that's cocobolo on the fingerboard, with Evo Gold frets.

I'm glad this thread popped up. It reinforces my decision to order a spalted top bass. These things are so beautiful.

Thanks Cliff!
