Redwood Arrival

[RobertB]

I picked up my BFR Redwood SR4 HH Thursday. BP, I just wanted to say ... wow. What a work of art. And it's more than just the top, it's how beautifully and well done everything is, from the binding and the mahogany neck, to the range of uniquely voiced great sounds it has. I'll spend most of my time in positions 3, 1 and 2 (in that order), but they all sound fabulous. The open, chunky sound of position 5 on the SR4 HH basses I've played normally doesn't appeal to me, but I even like that one too on this bass. Hats off, on the whole package. What a gorgeous instrument.

That thing is really cool. Great score. The top is the best thing about it, but even the mahogany headstock is dripping with cool.

Holy Mother of all tops !! That is incredible ! Beautifully matched too.

Goodness, that top sucks.

Okay, I don't often feel this way, but I am officially jealous!

 

[RobertB]

Great score.

Thanks. I had seen and played one other Redwood HH and an H in person, but waited to check out the next HH that came along, since I knew this dealer would be getting a few more. When I laid eyes on this one, I knew.

The top is the best thing about it, but even the mahogany headstock is dripping with cool.

Yeah, I love the way Mahogany plays with light. It seems it never really looks exactly the same any time you look at it, which is something really hard to capture in pics, same as with the 30th. But yeah, on this bass it complements the Redwood top beautifully, and is of course a great tone wood.

I covet a few of yours too.

Absolutely stunning! Just saved all those pics to my PC. That redwood top is beyond cool, and that neck... pure awesome.

 

[jlepre]

WOW! Congrats!

Do they make the BFR in a 5er?

 

[RocketRalf]

Gaaaah!!!!!

That's got to be the BEST top on a bass EVER!!!

And the best instrument top ever, closely followed by the hardtail BFR ASS that some forumite got. Even the headstock is stunning!!
