Arrived at Bass Central this week

This is the first bass we've made from Primavera. It looks even better in person, like Myrtle, Mango, and Koa combined. 

I saw this one in person, and the wood is mindblowing. Just gorgeous stuff.

Mica,
What's on the back?

If I remember correctly, it's quartered mahogany with some nice ribbon figure.

Very nice! Never heard of primavera, but really like the looks.

The only time i have heard of premavera is the song on the Santana Supernatural album.  🎸🤣

Really like those wooden back plates!

That's pretty stuff. Agree with the description... looks like a combination of several things. 

Now, this is how "Standard" model should be spec'ed !!!!!!

The figure is incredibly 3-dimensional, it also has a really interesting interlocking quality to it.

I would like to know more about canary, the wood my 1980 Series I one top is made of

I've made a couple guitars with canary necks  — it's waxy/oily enough that it doesn't always need finish. It sounds to me like maple, but with a little more midrange.

I added a link to your serial number lookup thread. 😉
