I posted some in-process shots of my fretless a couple of years back but here are some finished pics of it and its fretted sibling. Buckeye burl for the fretless, maple burl (with a brownburst finish) for the fretted.

Just discovered this after watching All about the Bass from Andertons's and hearing them talk about new Warwick limited Burl basses - "diseased" wood. Not sure if I want normal wood after a seeing lot of the beauties here...

I don't see a seam. All the grain looks like its from one piece of wood. Just amazing for $69
