Spalted and a bit flamed.
A fantastic bass.

I'm definitely hit or miss when it comes to spalted tops.

Tom.

Not a fan of spalted tops but that NECK looks incredible.

I will throw mine in the mix. It is funny that there was a day I did not like spalted tops. Anyway, here we go:

First my Sadowsky NYC Standard 5 with 4A spalted top with '59 Burst

Yes, I am the one who has this one now! I have owned it for a year or so and it is not going anywhere!
BTW: to those who have lusted over this one in the past...It actually has Sadowsky single coils in it now and it is totally killer!


Second my Fodera NYC Empire 5, 24 fret

Finally, the Sadowsky 24 fret that I just sold a couple of weeks ago but figured I would throw it in here.

SEI bass:

 

[eligos36]

That looks particularly heavy. Any pictures of you playing it?

Is that a Wenge/Bubinga neck?

Nooooooooo !

Is that a Wenge/Bubinga neck?

Good spot, Wenge & Bubinga neck with chambered ash wings. The bass weighs 12.1lbs and I have not got any pictures of me playing it yet I'm afraid...sorry.

It's so rare to see a Spalted SR body(and the one I was most hoping to see)...Are there any back pictures?

Thanks- I wish it had a matching headstock, but like most Zons, it doesn't.
