Perhaps among the most remarkable features of this pair is the creamy Pink Ivory top and back on the long scale bass. It's among the densest of woods, and when we routed the roundover along the edge of the bass, the surface left by the bit was so highly polished it required very little sanding. This board was wide enough to make the entire width of the bookmatches, and we even had a bit left over. | |||
The Coco Bolo Craig supplied was wildly grained. We decided to make the peghead veneers out of the same wood. We also made the Pink Ivory veneers for the long scale bass. Instead of our traditional Walnut and Maple peghead veneers, we used Purpleheart and Maple in both of these instruments. |

Western Flame Maple for the cores adds contrast to each bass. The longscale's recipe is: Pink Ivory, Purpleheart, Flame Maple, Purpleheart, Pink Ivory. On the short scale, we serve up Coco Bolo, Purpleheart, Flame Maple, Purpleheart, Coco Bolo. | |||
