I'm thinking that the Gard had the right answer. Wife likes quilt so...

thoughts about a stain like amber?

 

[SteveC]

Well, I basically have the "OK" from my wife so I guess I just need to get a couple little details ironed out and then...

 

[mwbonsall]

Quilt, no tint.

I was going to say quilt as a match to your fretted even when the Box Elder was in the mix. Amber tint is my input, but no tint would be fine depending on fretboard color (I would match the board).

 

[SteveC]

Wife says quilt, no tint, just oil like my other one.

 

[armybass]

Mmmm Boxelder.

Mmmmm Quilt.

Can't go wrong either way.

 

[Pacman]

Am I the only one thinking the boxelder over mahogany would be a killer Yin to the koa/ash Yang?

 

[SteveC]

I had that thought as well, but I'm a sucker for quilt maple...and my wife likes it.

 

[jwr]

You guys are going to be at NAMM in January right?

 

[J2Kbass]

I like quilted maple.

...2 weeks.

 

[bassWR]

...2 weeks.

That's to get picture.

 

[Gard]

That's to get picture.

Pictures? Oh, I thought that was when we would put the order in the system.

 

[JoelFT]

Pictures? Now? Already? I ordered mine almost a month ago and I've yet to even see the top. It's best I not see anything until it's done else, I will start over-thinking and second guessing.
