Congratulations! bigbadbill Member Username: bigbadbill Post Number: 81 Registered: 10-2003 Posted on Monday, February 02, 2004 - 11:52 am:    Hi Ken Absolutely fantastic!!! That is one fabulous looking bass. Seems strange seeing it finished after our numerous discussions! Utterly beautiful though. And as for the inlays, well I said nobody does 'em like Alembic..... All the best Shaun bassman10096 Member Username: bassman10096 Post Number: 89 Registered: 7-2003 Posted on Monday, February 02, 2004 - 12:19 pm:    Beautiful, Ken. Congratulations!!!!

I have seen several other makes over the years, and most don't come even close. From one Buckeye owner to another, congratulations on a gorgeous guitar! 1stbass Junior Username: 1stbass Post Number: 15 Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Monday, February 02, 2004 - 6:21 pm:    Ken, That is one sweet bass. This is way all the ladies love bass players. CONGRATULATIONS Doug drz Junior Username: drz Post Number: 23 Registered: 2-2003 Posted on Monday, February 02, 2004 - 8:31 pm:    I think I really like buckeye burl. Wow. What are the tonal characteristics with the buckeye. Now I think I want a Rogue with buckeye burl. jet_powers Intermediate Member Username: jet_powers Post Number: 141 Registered: 2-2003 Posted on Tuesday, February 03, 2004 - 6:54 am:    Wow. Stunning. Congratulations from one Rogue owner to another.... I'm sure it sounds as sweet as it looks. JP kenbass4 Member Username: kenbass4 Post Number: 66 Registered: 10-2003 Posted on Tuesday, February 03, 2004 - 8:46 am:    Ron, With a neck through bass, the top has little effect on the tonal characteristics of the bass. I would describe the sound as fairly balanced: Bright, but not brittle with an underlying growl. This bass does not want to be put down though, so I may not be able to respond too often. :-) Ken (TEO) drz Junior Username: drz Post Number: 24 Registered: 2-2003 Posted on Tuesday, February 03, 2004 - 3:27 pm:    That is a very unique looking instrument, one of the most unique I have seen and I am sure it sounds incredible. I am now very interested in buckeye burle for my future Rogue. smokin_dave Member Username: smokin_dave Post Number: 88 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Monday, February 09, 2004 - 8:33 pm:    Wow,very beautiful.Yup,I like that buckeye burl and the nickle plate.Wasn't it great to play that thing in a live setting for the first time?Everybody digs the sound/look of my purpleheart Rogue 5 so I'm sure you are getting alot of the same reaction.Rock on! tncaveman New Username: tncaveman Post Number: 6 Registered: 2-2011 Posted on Sunday, March 06, 2011 - 11:55 am:    Hey Ken - can you post up a few more pictures? Especially of the front of the bass's body. It really looks cool from the two shown.

Let's see if this will help: tncaveman New Username: tncaveman Post Number: 7 Registered: 2-2011 Posted on Tuesday, March 08, 2011 - 4:58 am:    I never thought of buckeye wood as an instrument wood. But, I've carried quite a few buckeyes around for luck. That is so cool looking!And the chrome hardware really accents it well. Stephen
