What's your favourite wood for a top?

Good evening gents,

I'm having a ramp made for my Sei and rather than going for plain old ebony, I was wondering what might work aesthetically for this bass-



It has an amber type stain to it and having just decorated the living room, it's woefully apparent that I can't match colours ;) .....


It all depends what Chris Larkin has in the wood store but ball bark suggestions- I'm leaning toward cocobolo or maybe staining some burl poplar-

Simple, just wallpaper the whole front of the bass with a heavy flock or woodchip, that way everything will match beautifully :P

Yes, I know, my coat is by the door.......

Hey,

A nice bit of maple could work there I think, maybe even ash or alder for the lighter match up. Then again, Ebony, whilst you may want to steer away from, it'd match up nicely.

Check out the Nordstrand basses, the custom jobbies... i'm pretty sure they've done some sweet ramp jobs. If i'm wrong, then you can probably get some great ideas for wood combos as he uses some wicked woods!

Thanks
Jamie
