The center laminate is Walnut. You'll have to correspond directly with Susan or myself for price quotes, as it depends on the model.

Here's some pics of your bass in setup a couple of days ago:

We were talking about logo finishes, and in the end, James decided to use the bronze finish, buffed up shiny. It looks great with the wood and the hardware. The abalone looks especially nice. I hope you like it!

I usually browse the forum without posting much, but I just have to say that this is probably one of the most stunning instruments that I've seen, period.

One of the most beautiful basses I have ever seen!!!

Very Very congradulations. Have you slept yet?

You are one of the reasons that I just switched to Quilted Coco Bolo on my Series II that is on order. Thank you.

Aloha, Paul

I think you made the right call on the blank fingerboard too. It focuses all the attention on that ridiculous top.
