I'm guessing that more than a few folks are seriously wishing they had gotten their hands on that plank. I think Danno might have passed up his usual "black paint thanks very much" for a shot at this one. Once again WOW! ... just WOW!!! - Jim jacko Senior Member Username: jacko Post Number: 1214 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Sunday, June 17, 2007 - 11:28 pm:    Stunning!!

Let's thank Mica & co (and Chip) for being able to "foresee" such beauty. Gulp!!!!!!!

If I wasn't getting Coco Bolo for the legendary sound, I think this wood would be my wood of choice! estring Junior Username: estring Post Number: 24 Registered: 9-2003 Posted on Wednesday, August 29, 2007 - 11:10 pm:    Hey You are gonna have one beautiful instrument!!! berniek New Username: berniek Post Number: 7 Registered: 5-2007 Posted on Thursday, August 30, 2007 - 11:15 am:    OK, I like my bass a lot (Karen's), but that is one cool piece of wood you have there. hifiguy Intermediate Member Username: hifiguy Post Number: 112 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Saturday, September 01, 2007 - 3:30 pm:    Man, that wood's about as inconspicuous as a bear in a phone booth!!! What a stunning instrument! What electronics did you spec, Chuck? Paul the_8_string_king Senior Member Username: the_8_string_king Post Number: 742 Registered: 9-2005 Posted on Saturday, September 01, 2007 - 5:09 pm:    Judging from the routing and drill pattern, I'd say it's a standard Series II. Hope you're getting chrome or nickel hardware. IMO it would go better with the wood than the gold. mele_aloha Advanced Member Username: mele_aloha Post Number: 224 Registered: 1-2007 Posted on Saturday, September 01, 2007 - 8:24 pm:    Gourgeous gourgeous! How do they fill the voids in this wood? Is it just filled with the clear coat polyester? I love this wood, Paul bassman10096 Senior Member Username: bassman10096 Post Number: 967 Registered: 7-2003 Posted on Sunday, September 30, 2007 - 7:37 am:    That's the prettiest buckeye I've ever seen. The blue/green/grey to cream contrast is beautiful.
