Quilt doesn't get any better than this top here. However, there's more to this bass than just a sexy top. We've been testing Macassar ebony fretboards lately and I've got to say, paired with a wenge neck the results are pretty amazing. 6-strings are always a little tougher to get right due to the wide variety of string gauges and frequencies but this combination has the notes almost jumping off the fretboard.
