Naturally dark wood

Check out the macassar ebony top on the zoot in my profile pic. Looks nicer in person too!

+1 on Cocobolo, rosewood (Brazilian "Rio" the finest), European/American walnut, wenge.
Thuja is nice too, used it on my custom "Stingray" (pre-EB MM neck), looks lighter in the pic than it is because of flash. Used African blackwood for the fretless f/b, which is lovely but a phenomenally heavy wood!

Good call! Jon Shuker is building me a singlecut with a striped ebony top - it looks like this at the moment.

Here's RetroRon's new rosewood KingBass from Stati.com & my cocobolo SII...

Oh Mannnnn, I just love that SII - I've dreamt of owning one since I first started playing in the eighties.

LOL! Everyone loves that bass If I had a tenner for every offer I'd had for it since buying it, I'd have a new car by now!
