[Aussie Mark]

Not my cup of tea, but haven't seen this one mentioned on the forums at all.

Oh my...

Don't know what to think about those. Those are too beautiful to Rock and Roll.

damn fine lookin' piece of wood there.......

i love the way the wood looks around the pickup on the second picture,its like the humbucker is a knot in the wood.

Love it with the rosewood. It'd be perfect with an ebony fretboard though.

Come to think of it...fretless w/ebony fingerboard, mmmmmm...

What a Jazzy StingRays!

Very nice!

I didnt get to see those....Im not much for spalted maple but some people go nuts for it

 

[oli@bass]

Wow! That's another hot EBMM collectible!

 

[TSanders]

I posted this at TB Mark, great find man. Not quite my cup of tea, but cool none the less.

 

[Kirby]

Wow, I wish I could get my hands on one of those. I was just playing my rosewood this morning and was remarking to myself how much I love the sound of that bass and the top.

No really liking the spalted look with clear. However the Spalted Sunburst JP's were awesome looking. JOSH

looks really boutique-ish, and I have to say that's really nice! but it looks like the body isn't "rounded" right? (sorry, I don't know the correct english word to say what I mean... hope you get it anyway)

Hmmm...

 

[MrMusashi]

Thats what they call body binding. You see it a lot on necks of guitars from other companies.A few other EBMM BFR's had that. Like the redwood stingrays.
Am I mistaken or does the 2nd one have an ebony fretboard?

Also about spalted maple. Isnt that just maple that got wet, then dried and got moldy? I like my maple fresh.
