blablas Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 Can't really choose between two or three, I would probably decide the moment right before I started sawing the thing. Two appears like the more "traditional" look for a burl top, three has a charm of its own. One isn't doing it for me. Quote
CamdenRob Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 (edited) I'd go for #2, I like the swirl pattern on the forearm and control knob areas. This stuff is agonising though and you're better off not actually having a choice! Presented with any of those as a finished bass I'd be happy, but having the choice leaves you forever wondering if you've chosen the right one! Edited December 22, 2015 by CamdenRob Quote
alembic63 Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 Number 2 looks the best to me,love the contrast beween the light and dark. When I did mine it was a nightmare deciding which way round to have it, so much so it gave me sleepless nights ....but, one things for sure, whichever you choose, its going to look stunning. Quote
alittlebitrobot Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 I picked #2. Hard to say why, exactly. I just thought it had the most pleasing arrangement of voids and swirly bits. Quote
blockhd Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 #1 because it has this great depth to it. Quote
TheGreek Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 I voted for no1 but wouldn't be upset with either of the others... Quote
CamdenRob Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 Everytime I look at them I prefer a different one Quote
Doctor J Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 (edited) 2 because it's better than 3. I wouldn't use one, it looks like there's too much wood missing where the controls will be and you need that area to be as solid as possible and, even though it'll be epoxied to bejaysus, it would still bother me.

scojack Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 The crack at the top horn on 2 puts me off a bit, taking into account the radio active filler i'm going for 3. Although i wouldn't mind any of them Quote
Sibob Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 Number 2 Always preferred Buckeye a little darker Si Quote
Kev Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 Number 1 I would have gone for two but the location of the crack is quite unfortunate, i like how it is symmetrical on 1. Quote
