MM bases with exodic wood

[MMTODD]

I love - 'L' 'O' 'V' 'E' - my Rosewood Axis. It seriously is my favorite neck (bass or guitar) without questions. Could a rosewood necked MM bass be made or is the tension on bass necks too great? Just curious. I'm not asking if one will be ever made, just if it could be made and be functional.

burl sucks...don't ever do it poppa!

<now that I said don't, I probably provoked a burl stingray>
lol..anyways, that SH!T is UGLY, so I hope it never happens. After all, it's ROTTEN wood.

I played a rosewood single h bongo at the clinic today!

so then the ash SR5 with rosewood neck is in SLO and still in need of releasing it's tone to the masses???

I don't (but yes I really do) want to even see the new crazy shizzle you brought to the desert BP....... one piece bodies....... flamey, rosy necks............

fancy schmancy

my previous fancy lumber post got sucked into a cyberspace black hole but nothing important was noted ... it' wasa just more brain damaged blather from woe is me in rehab...

the main point is I love everything that BP and the SLOhands design and build and I'd be happy to play my stock SR5 H/Piezos again

have a great time everyone ...

I thought Bongos had maple necks? Or do you just mean that they are all painted, and no bare maple necks?

I meant the stuff you see between the frets...

BP - please, please, please make a Rosewood neck available on a bass, preferably a five stringer. Prehaps a BFR? I know rosewood is not totally exodic, but....

I will be first in line!

Yes we will be shipping some rosewood necked basses in the early part of 2008

Ooh, if there's a Bongo with rosewood neck coming next year I'm all over it.

Speaking of exotic woods, the BFRs Dargin just posted in the sticky thread are stunning. The flamed/quilted maple Sterling is unbelievably gorgeous.
