My 2008 Streamer LTD with a madrona burl top (though elsewhere I always see it referred to as golden madrone, if there's a difference).

How about a Regenerate M5? I LOVE redwood burl and flames! Oh, and the core of the body is flamed maple!

And the back...

Rod does GREAT work!

Burl is nice.

Wow, that's awesome. 3-color sunburst. Did you ask for that or was it a pre-made that way?

Thanks!!

That's the only bass I've ever special ordered. I love the sunburst look but wanted something more interesting looking with the grain, yet not as flashy as a deep quilt.

My Spector Euro4LX with a poplar burl top on maple body...

This bass creeps my daughter out because if you zoom in or look closely at the burl its full of faces looking back at you, like these...

I was going to say that about the previous camphor sample,like looking at dozens of ghostly faces Jim

In the "Budget Burl" category, we have a Schecter Riot with EMG DC35's. Nice basses and I still have both of my kidneys.

Along with a couple LTD Rocco sigs.

Just applied Transtints to this burl maple body the other day and it really popped the grain.

I have this Westone Thunder Jet finished with birch burl.

I guess I never got around to posting this one. It's the one on the left. Maple burl over walnut. Tight sound.

Here's a very cool Buckeye Burl pattern...

These are a few past and present burl basses I've owned. My favorite top for basses is Buckeye Burl.
