The stork made a graceful landing today, and left me with a special treat. Another amazing build from our Guru in Colchester. i875.photobucket.com/albums/ab313/Me4Bass/nofingerprintsyet_zpseb650b33.jpg The top is Bocote wood, from Central America. I think it is basically a high contrast rosewood of sorts. It reminds me of a piece of cinnamon toast. The flat-wounds play great, and any tone is doable. Rob suggested the top configuration, where is goes over the through neck. He did a beautiful job. I asked for the custom fingerboard dots, which turned out great as well. i875.photobucket.com/albums/ab313/Me4Bass/S2close-up_zps9aebc736.jpg ...and a distant cousin to keep her company. I'm set. i875.photobucket.com/albums/ab313/Me4Bass/DistantCousins_zpsfd66f3e9.jpg ...and for those who appreciate backsides. i875.photobucket.com/albums/ab313/Me4Bass/alderbackside_zpsd325e141.jpg
