What would a trip to Greensboro be without taking some time to pick through the Roscoe wood pile? I added a couple nice new tops to my ridiculously large "reserved" pile, so now I've got so much nice wood tied up that I'm feeling guilty. So I want to get systematic about converting some of these tops into live orders, and I once again want to ask my fellow TB'ers to help me do that!

Here's what I'm thinking. Each month I'll setup a poll of the 3-4 tops that I would like to see turned into basses. You guys vote for your favorite top, and the winning top gets turned into a bass in short order.

So without futher ado, here are the first 4 top candidates. I'll let the poll run a few days, and then we can start kicking around the final specs.

Don't know about these, but I am thinking the Chilean laurel burl is gonna be the top on my next order.

Is it still available?

Yep, it sure is!

I was going to put that on a six string for myself. That's not going to happen anytime soon, though, so I decided to put it up for sale. Lucky you (and me)! :D

That is the oddest piece of buckeye I've ever seen, like there's a picture of a ghost or ghoul or something in it.

Heh, with an ebony board and black hardware, could be the perfect bass for a Rob Zombie cover band. :D

Do you have anything less than spectacular?
:hiding:

That Buckeye Burl with a BEM Diamondwood unlined board 5 string fretless CB pups and Bart pre could alter my thoughts that I don't NEED another bass...

Too bad it can't be had in LG style...

The Buckeye Burl top has established an early lead, which is kinda funny. I almost didn't include that one because it's one of the new tops that I picked out on Monday. So much for working my way through the tops I've had on hold a long time. :rollno::D

Sorry, Gard! I'm sure a guaranteed order will make you feel some better. :hyper:

Dude, order away, the order in which you order the orders is an order of magnitude below the order of issue in order of importance in my order of things.

:confused:

...what did I just say?

:help:
