Edit: which one are you referring to?

Your one - you yourself said it was a four string and the pic is of a four string bass.

Beautiful looking top wood there. Fretted or fretless and string count?

Jim

Four string fretted.

Gotcha, it's a 4 string. The neck hasn't been carved yet, it'll look like a P-Bass neck when it's done.

Ahhh, I see! Can't wait to see pics of it when it's done!

OMG! That is BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!! What kind of wood is that on the body??? Would look amazing on drums too!

It's Amboyna Burl, pretty expensive wood from southeast Asia. Check out this rocking chair It WOULD make a nice looking drum set.

Yikes! $35,000 for a rocking chair! Damn! That is beautiful wood! Maybe I gotta talk to DW about getting a hold of some of that!!

This is where I ordered my wood, http://www.galleryhardwoods.com/

There's some nice stuff in there! Have Larry plane it down real thin then cover your drums

With nice wood it'll cost you about $100-$400 per drum, (before labor on your kit) the bass drum would be the kicker! get it? Kicker?
