The top laminate for your bass:
 

 
This is wood from the tree that the dog Cujo was chained to in the movie. Our main Walnut supplier must know nearly every Walnut tree in California personally. When the trees are near their end of life, he makes arrangements with the owners to remove them when the time comes.

The bass is beautiful - I love the Cujo flame walnut. The narrower neck will fit my hands perfectly.  I can't wait to begin playing it.

That cone peghead is perfect for this instrument. It continues the natural, long taper of the body of the bass without interruption. Fantastic choice!
