I had a bass someone made with a reverse 'burst as silly as that sounds.dark brown faded to yellowish on the outside.A top level real pro job done over to some of the best to die for quilted maple I've ever seen.The body was Gibson grabber style 3 p.u no pickguard.
 
Do you mean town names? Cause I've never heard of a poetic British town name.

Yes, town names. Although perhaps instead of "poetic" perhaps I should have said "picturesqe" or quaint. Lostok Gralam works for me, as would Ryton Dimmock; or many things from this

Odd and Unusual Place Names

although it's more a compendium of the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Ours are more like this

I don't know, man.... This bass just feels too upscale for my needs. Maybe I just need to put it away for a while and see if I ever get back into it.

I agree with the suggestion above. Slap a black guard on it.

That being said, it's yours. Go nuts. Make it look good to you.....no matter what that means. I didn't mean to hammer you over it. :cool:

That's just a pretty piece of wood.

Well rather than calling our roads '5th venue, 6th Avenue, 7th Avenue, etc...' we do like to give them names.
