Just for fun, post a photo or two of your open grained or wood stained bass (no painted or otherwise solid colored basses).

Wot, you mean like this?

Natural wood is always my best choice. I have a Sandberg in natural Ash body. Will try to take a photo later.

The wood looks great! Assuming you are going with a Delano pickup at the neck but the bridge pickup route looks small, what are you planning to put in there?

It's for a tiny but powerful pu… no.., it's a battery cavity - a pg covers it. The whole story - SuperB - 5'r

For anyone who saw my previous postings, that instrument ended up being too heavy (@ 11.3 lbs), so the builder made me a second one...

My 4003SW

 

[Ballin'bass]

My new (to me) custom Carl Thompson 4-string w 3D scroll. Cocobolo top and back wings, Mahogany core, walnut heel block, walnut center block, Ebony body streamers, Cocobolo pickup covers, Morado fretboard on single piece Mahogany neck, Paduk control cover, Cocobolo knobs.

Perfection in craftsmanship.

Very cool. Don't think I've seen a bass in sold myrtle.
