koa is one of those woods where the picture just doesn't do it justice.  i have a koa exploiter and it is just about the prettiest bass i own.  it doesn't become apparent until i strap it on and look at it close up.  mesmerizing.  interesting tone outta that one, hard to describe.

I agree. I have a Peavey TL-6 in all Koa. Sounds amazing and beautiful. I'm hoping to install some activators in that bass.
