Natural Wood Basses

[Gervais Cote]

My 1978 Aria Precision, best precision I've ever owned.
Beats all the Fenders, Squiers and Sandbergs I had.

Great bass!

I have two. One is a home build body, walnut and figured maple inlaid guard. The other is a 1987 Carvin LB90 koa.

 

[ClassicJazz]

Here are BOTH my 1979 Kramer basses.

The older I get the more I find myself departing from the traditional painted basses and being drawn more to the natural wood basses.

There's something about an unpainted bass that uses a really exotic wood with high grade top.

Anyways, having said all of this, I'd love to see photos of the best looking "natural wood" (unpainted) basses you guys have come across.

Welcome to the club.

I guess there's nothing "natural" about this bass I saw on FB marketplace.

 

[Lo-E]

I’m pretty fond of my Tourmakeady fretless.

 

[TheReceder]

This has to be a record for the most bass porn in one spot.

Wo-ho !

Those basses inspire me for a song from the B52's :

"Some she’s from mars
Or one of the seven stars
That shines after 3:30 in the morning
Planet clair !"

 

[Basta-bass]

I like it simple.
Swamp Ash and Mapple Neck.

 

[Pdaddy1978]

Not terribly exotic.... but I still love her.
