I had forgotten about this thread. I don't even have the bass that I posted anymore, but I did get 2 different ones from the same luthier.

My 1994 Warwick Fortress One Masterman. The body is full flame maple. No top or cap, full flame maple.

What’s the red one on the right with the dual Xtenders?

I'm generally not drawn to this sorta' thing so I decided to do a build using such to see if I could make something I like. Time will tell...

Not mine I'm afraid. Another model from the same luthier. I only have the two on the far left. Rosche Custom Basses if you're interested. I'm sure Ian could give you a full rundown of the specs.

Very interesting piece of wood. Maple, I take it?

Yes - the back will be a single slab of Honduran mahogany and staining & gilding will be incorporated on the top, the theme being water. Both sides will be chambered also.

I guess I have a few that qualify...

a Warmoth with...I dunno if this is called "flamed" or "quilted" or just "figured" maple top:

a Rob Allen with a flamed (?) maple top:

a Modulus with a figured coco bola top:

and a Lakland with quilted maple under cherry sunburst:

I like them, but "Camera shake"?...

Either brace or faster shutter speed/flash, it's not easy to capture the figure?

First time I've heard that in eleven years.
