I saw it. Reminded me of The Shroud of Turin.

That's not a beard, he's putting his hands together in prayer or supplication.

Wow.  Wow.  I'd love to hear it.  Wow.  I fear I'll need more than one stocking for this!

What are the woods on this beast?

David Houck

Hi Bernard, welcome to the board!  The fingerboard is Macassar Ebony.  I believe the top and back are Burl Redwood.  The neck is Maple, Purpleheart and Ebony.  I think the main body is Purpleheart with Maple accent laminates between it and the Redwood.  And I'm thinking the headstock top and back laminates are the Burl Redwood as well.

Thanks a lot. That sounds like one tasty hippie sandwich.

Bradley Young

The fingerboard is Camatillo.

I went back and reread the thread; you're right, I stand corrected!

If this does not make Featured Custom, I don't know what will.

I got to SING!
 
Just once in a lifetime
A man knows a moment
One wonderful moment
When fate takes his hand
And this is my moment
My once in a lifetime
When I can explore a new and exciting land
 
For once in my lifetime
I feel like a giant
I soar like an eagle
As though I had wings
For this is my moment
My destiny calls me
And though it may be just once in my lifetime
I'm gonna do great things
 
I seen that bass in person, and it's a huge work of art that's un-describable in words. PURE REGAL, AND TAKING NO PRISONERS... THIS BASS IS SMACK-DOWN-DROP-DEAD-DANGEROUSLY-LETHALLY BEAUTIFUL.  
 
Perfect 10 - I want my coffee mug of this bass!
