Like it or not ( I don't ) but that one is on hold. less than 4 hours after the latest update of the stock instruments ,,man
LOL!!!

That's the thing... the really unusual ones will either linger for a LONG time or they go right away. Just no predictin' it. :)

I don't know how many others really like this, but I completely dig this crazy Sad buckeye burl a lot more than just about any spalted maple I've seen... but not necessarily more than some of the MTDs I've seen.

If higher-end MTDs sound anything like the '91 Tobias 6 fretless I owned, I think I would opt for a Sad... just not a purple one.

It plays and sounds even better than it looks!

I lot of people don't know this, but purple paint helps bring out the harmonics in the second fret in a fretted bass. It also boosts the frequencies below 20 hz by 0.1 dbs, more or less.

Remember you heard it from me first.

Oh, you mean finish color effects tone? Kind of like nitro-cellulose lacquer, as mentioned in another thread?:eyebrow: :rollno: :p
