My midi equipped Roscoe "Buckeye Burl" which I affectionately call "Bucky":

The Buckeye with the fingerboard resting on top in Keith's paint booth:

Keith holding the fingerboard up to get a sense. The runner up in front of Keith - but it was truly no contest:

The body carved:

A glimpse of the jack and midi jack side by side:

On the rack for finishing, top right - no pickup routings:

Spectacular.

Who made that bass?

The guy on the left, Jacob Marchlewski, crafted the bass. The guy on the right, Jon Clark (WolfeHollow on TB) designed it.

I just finished modded and OLP and wait for a Nordstrand 5.4

Bought it for 120$ in gray metallic and strip it.

I LIKE Redwood Burl! Regenerate M5: Redwood burl top/back, Flame Maple body core, Birdseye/Cocobolo neck Nordstrand pickups Bass Mods 3-band preamp - sounds like a voice of thunder!

Rod Makes GREAT basses!

This was a sweet bass. Acacia 6 with maple burl top and back

 

[Munjibunga]

Good lord, that's a sweet bass. Every time I see it my eyes bug out. It never gets old. Wow.

There's a bit of a story on how I came about acquiring that bass. Too long to tell here, though. But it all started when Bass Player Magazine did a short review of it in their June 2006 issue ...

I'm speechless! What was the tuning, F# - f?

Thanks! That bass was a beauty! And F# to f was the tuning. Chris (Stambaugh) builds a beautiful bass!

I'm so happy to see this thread resurrected! I absolutely love burls, and can't wait to see more lovely examples added here.
