I wondered who would be the first to reference coffee table instruments!!!

[Mobay45]

I didn't see a price anywhere for them. I figure it's one of those "If you have to ask you can't afford it" kind of deals.

[JB1]

Mobay, I think you're right on the price thing.

I know they are CT basses(!), BUT, it got me thinking that I might like a 'Ray made using that wood. Kinda cool.

Or is it me?

[cgworkman]

I'd be afraid the headstock is going to snap off and impale me....

[Moondog]

I like the bodies but that headstock sucks

[JB1]

Headstock ain't so sweet eh?

I still thing a regular 'Ray, but using the wood for the body would look nice...

These people are criminals!!!!!!!!

Explain Mantaray.....

If they destroyed trees so old to do that that's what they are!

[Dees]

very beautifull, I wish I had one

I can't imagine that the trees that furnished that wood were alive. 35,000 years?!! Just because the wood is that old doesn't mean it came from a living tree.

I would think that even a dead tree would rot or decay after several years but I'm not an 'earth science' expert

fossilized wood??

The oldest tree in the world is bristlecone pine that's a shade under 5000 years old.
