Title: Mica: Bocote?
Post by: Michael Ichiyama (ichinumba9) on December 18, 2002, 12:05:03 PM

Have you guys ever used Bocote on your basses and if so do you have any in your wood bank to make a bass with the bocote as the laminate under the top and under the back?

Bocate is a standard wood option and no additional charge on any model. I'll be expanding the Wood Bank to include all the differrent types of wood available.  
 
Generally the Bocate is narrower than some of the other woods and is reliably available for the Rogue, Europa, and Essence shapes. Wider widths are more rare in the highly figured types sought after for bass and guitar tops.
