BFR Redwood Questions

[Jailbait]

Sure will its being posted monday. I feel like an expectant father. really landed on its feet here total bass head me.

I just met a guy with a single H model, absolutely beautiful. But the case is a regular EBMM case. Is that normal? Also, when I mentioned the BFR certificate, he wasn't sure he had it.

I'm about to sell mine.

nurnay, the original case looks like brown snakeskin with champagne colored fur inside..

Good grief, that's nice.

 

[engage757]

I have the same guitar with a BFR case and it's totally different!

Thanks, that's what I figured. If I do decide to pull the trigger I think I can get him to knock the price down. But I think if I were really going to buy this model, I'd wait for one with the correct case.

I'm pretty sure that's not the correct case for this model. That's the one I got with my White Limited Dealer Edition awhile back. Every one I've seen comes with a brown leather one.

I'm looking into buying a bfr redwood and can't find a ton of info about them. What came with the original basses. I'm assuming the case and some sort of certificate of authenticity

Yes, plus the standard case candy (Wonder wipes, stickers, etc.).

No, that's the case from the White Limited Run. Mine has the brown leather wrapped case with black interior and BFR badging. Never seen a Redwood Special without the brown case except that one!

Here's mine. Sounds incredible and only weighs 8.4 lbs. This one came to me in a trade from Denmark so maybe there's more in the US now

 

[bovinehost]

Dang, that is NICE.

 

[MrMusashi]

indeed. the awe you feel when playing a 900 year old log (yea yea i know, its only a top.. but still)

its crazy. it was there during the first and second world war. the civil war. the lutheran reformation. the dark middle ages. gutenberg inventing printing. salvador dali and da vinci. leiv eriksson going to america.

treat it nice so karma doesnt come back and bite you

MrM

ps. the mahogany neck is something else too

 

[Michael Murphy]

I'm about to sell mine.

So... did that ever happen?

 

[Andrey Dolganov]

Hello! I bought BFR bass!
It is very interesting to listen to it, HOW it sounds - a tree of 1000 years old

 

[engage757]

Yeah, sorry for the dealy. Mine sold, but the guy has it on Reverb.com now with my pics.

 

[Andrey Dolganov]

Yes, thank you, I bought it on Reverb! I hope there are no hidden defects in it and it sounds good

That's exactly what I was thinking when I first played mine...how much history that wood has lived through on this planet... kinda cool!
