Myke Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Number 2 definitely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Signal Path Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 I agree #2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blablas Posted December 21, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Apple Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Number 1 is the most dynamic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamdenRob Posted December 22, 2015 Share 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!

alembic63 Posted December 22, 2015 Share 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.

alittlebitrobot Posted December 22, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blockhd Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 #1 because it has this great depth to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 I voted for no1 but wouldn't be upset with either of the others... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor J Posted December 22, 2015 Share 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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Number 2 Always preferred Buckeye a little darker Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted December 23, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
