Quick snap-shot of my baby during recording session in our new home, L.A. I couldn't resist

That is a nice-looking series.  What is the top wood on that?  The fretboard looks red.  Is it Vermillion?  Very cool and unique bass!

Thanks, good eyes! Red...Yes the fretboard is Vermillion (great sounding too!!). The top wood is a splendid piece of California Walnut. The engineer at this studio was intrigued by the way the bass looked and then was astonished by the ease in which we got a fantastic tone.

correction****** oops.....the fretboard is Paduk,not vermillion, just thought i would set record straight.

Hey Oggy,
 
Vermillion is another name for Padauk, so you're both right (you and your alter-ego).
 
Let's see some more pics just to be sure!

Just testing...you pass!!, no one else seems to dig this bass, so my alter-ego as you put it was trying bump this discussion to the top.

Is that ProTools running in the background?  Gotta be...  And KRK's?

ProTools HD, and those are KRK's sounded great on playback.
