Surely that's not wood? But ah yes, it is. The creamy Buckeye Burl is naturally stained from a fungus, and dried to arrest the bluish/greenish/greyish color in it's tracks. Totally stable and totally awesome! If you've never had the pleasure of playing a short scale bass, are you in for a treat. Fast positional changes are even speedier with our exclusive satin neck feel - you just can't stick to this neck. Just custom enough with it's upgraded top and handy side LEDs in red, black mother of pearl oval inlays, and 5-piece neck, this Stanley Clarke model can be shipped directly from Bass Central in Florida.
