1980 Fender Jazz Bass, 3-piece ash body. I especially love the distinctive eye on the back side.

For someone who enjoys a natural finish, I fall short in only having one, and it’s a Squier…(yes, I basically lost in the game of Life…)

But it’s got a nice neck…

During the time of my previous posting above, I had but one natural WOOD body; my Fretless neck was on a sunburst body.
Perhaps two months later, I had acquired another natural WOOD body for it.

So for about a year after my OP, I have two!!!

A bass build I completed a little over a year ago, lots of flame maple on this body and neck…

I love that the grain shows thru the thin nitro finish ... it's a beast!

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

In other words, lets see that grain!
Stained is fine, so long as your bass shows the grain.
I just want to see who else is owning sexy woody basses.

Here's mine! (sans strap-locks)

I don't usually care much for burls, but that Lakland is drool-worthy...
