    Get it right: I'm a rotten egg, not a bad one!

    :p

    Bolivian rosewood, with some of the sap/heartwood in it as well, that's the lighter color.

    This thing is beautiful, not in a screaming "look at me" kind of way, but in a subtle "I wanna grow old looking at her" kind of way.

    :D

    No the lighting makes it look that way. It's a Koa overlay on the headstock.

    That's a really hot bass, one of the nicest pieces of Koa I've seen.

    Adrian, I know what you mean. I was able to get the bass shipped a week earlier than planned though. At least I'll feel better tomorrow when I get the tracking number and can check up on her. Busy gig weekend this week so she'll get a good workout. :bassist:
