What kind of wood is that body made from? and is that its natural color of is it stained?

The neck in the first post's pictures is different from the rest. Is it a different bass, or what gives? Generally, I like the shape, the woods and the headstock, but the name... Affinity? Really? Hasn't heard of the BIG Affinity?

This is like designing a nice Ferrari inspired supercar and naming it the Pinto...

I think Surine's Affinity model goes back many years. Maybe he should sue Fender.



That bass is looking great. I hope he gives you a lot more progress pics you can post.

The picture's you are looking at are front and back. The bass has a full cocobolo top, and cocobolo wings on the back. Yup this is my bad-ass pinto that's being built just for me, so I can go ninety miles an hour, yet still be able to find a parking spot downtown=). And no it's not stained yet. It won't be stained. It's getting a full lacquer. No need for stain.

Subbed!

The one unique part about this bass that is yet to be seen is a custom ramp with both bridge and neck pick-up built into a matching cocobolo ramp. The ramp is going to be counter-sunk into the top piece of the body so that it will be fully adjustible without taking away from the aesthetics of the instrument. more pic's to come... brian
