GAS Alert!!!!

[Logrinn]

Definitely #3. I like the grain in that one the most.

 

[BigSteve22]

FWIW, #3, definitely nice grain AND the lightest! We gonna see another ghotiphry build thread soon?

 

[swarfrat]

I like the grain on #2. It's just peaceful and serene and doesn't look like it wants to warp if you look at a crosseyed.

 

[stratamania]

#3 prefer the look of the grain.

 

[Verne Bunsen]

If it were me pulling the trigger, #3 all the way. That is some cool grain pattern.

 

[Fat Pete]

#3 for me too, but just for the weight as I'd be covering all that weird woody looking stuff with some nice opaque paint.

 

[ghotiphry]

I waited too long, pondering options. #3 sold.

Probably to one of these fellers that voted for it!  :laughing7:  Numbers 1 and 2 were nice as well.

I'm still trying to decide if I want to actually do a roasted swamp ash, or just swamp ash, or even straight alder.  Thanks for the input you guys.

How about roasted alder? I am thinking about that for my next one.

I'm actually thinking of something similar to what you have in your signature.

That's just swamp ash with a mixture of Wudtone and white India ink. It was almost criminally easy to apply. I'm pleased with it.

 

[ghotiphry]

Well... Damn.  This is nice.

 

[bagman67]

Yep, it is.  I've been fantasizing about a bass build and that looked so dang sexy - but I can't rationalize the expense right now, so if you want it, I won't be bummed at all to see it stay "in the family", so to speak.  I think it needs to go on this guy (screamin' deal at $320), maybe in a Musicman kinda build:

 

[BigSteve22]

ghotiphry, is that a new bass in your future? That's a nice place to start....  :evil4:

 

[Cagey]

That's me. Keep thinking I want a bass, but can't rationalize it. Besides, they always end up like my Les Pauls - the reality of them isn't as satisfying as the fantasy, so they end up on the auction block having gotten little use and sucking up money for no good reason.

 

[rgand]

Well, somebody buy those things and put them together.

 

[ghotiphry]

I've got something in the works, as usual.  No pics as yet.  Have to remedy that soon.

If you're grabbing that canary neck above, congratulations.  My canary'n'ebony Tele neck is hands-down my favorite.  So velvety smooth.

 

[ghotiphry]

I've got a quartersawn maple with satin finish and black blocks that's "seasoning."  I bought it before the canary came up.  Doesn't mean it's not a fantastic piece and I'm not gassing for it.
