molan Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 I was hunting around for buckeye burl basses & came across this stunning piece of workmanship form Fodera: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdwardHimself Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Love it, looks like a cross between a status and a spector but on steroids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanbass1 Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Buckeye burl is amongst my favourite finishes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Rich Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 When I first saw buckeye burl I wanted some on a bass, but I seem to be going off it.... it's so in your face and hardly looks like wood. I'm sure it's one of those woods that photos can't do justice to, and I haven't seen any close up but I think I prefer something a bit more subtle. Bet it's a fantastic bass though!

It's really grown on me now though and I'd have no hesitation buying one if the right bass came along I agree about the 'fantastic bass' bit - I've never played a Fodera but everything I hear about them is uniformly excellent!
