thodrik Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 I’m lucky enough to two own two Sadowsky basses and two Vigiers. Only the Sadowsky NYC 5 string has anything approaching a ‘fancy’ figured top though. However, in person the finish is more subtle than the ‘as new’ pic Sadowsky did when it was made. My Vigiers are pretty plain in terms of fancy figured woods. There is some subtle flame on the Arpege but tough to photograph on my crap phone. The Excess has a cool cloudy gray finish but no figuring other than some flame in the neck. In my view Vigiers actually ‘feel’ more special than they look. In terms of awesome figured tops I think that the US Spectors are really impressive. Custom Warwicks, Mayones, Wals and ACG as well are right up my street in terms of fancy figured wood tops. I quite like the look of those Skjold basses too but never tried one. Once you get into Fodera and Ritter territory I would feel uncomfortable even touching the bass in case I damaged it. Stunning basses though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to buy it back, but it's gone in the wild. Fantastic 36 inches scale bass with original Greengrove preamp... A real tone monster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulhauser Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Not all of my Spectors are ‘boutique’ as some of them are customized Euro basses but anyway, here we go 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzyvee Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 This is my bass of pure indulgence, Alembic Series II Europa. I was recording with it last night and still consider myself extremely fortunate to own it. And It's never been used as a coffee table. 😎🤣😍 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
