I had to wait a while for this one. Here are a few picks of B-eye :D

Well this is #2 Warrior Signatures for me. Air dried 45 year old swamp ash body with sick buck-eye burl top, knobs, pickup covers, matching headstock. Sugar rock quarter sawn maple neck with Purple Heart stiffening strip. Birds-eye maple board with rare Brazilian rosewood blocks. 18 volt custom Bartolini preamp stacked oversized J at the bridge and a fatty MM style front pickup.

Frets are incredibly crowned just absolutely amazing. Action is super low but does not bottom out anywhere. Less than 9 LB for sure I have to weigh it later. Just a masterpiece of craftsmanship and amazing thick huge tone. I am speechless over this one. It’s just wood porn by all standards. Freaking mother of pearl cover where the neck goes into the body really cool.

i love the look of that top it looks like some sort of exotic Italian marble, does it do anything for tone or is it purely for looks?

So I do have two of these basses with same pickup configuration and electronics. My number one has same ash body but wenge Purple Heart neck and quilt maple top and ebony fingerboard. This bass is same ash body and maple neck, maple board so I thought it was going to be more snappy, aggressive and bright and could possibly loose low warm round bottom.

This is totally not the case. It has way more warmth and solid lows as well as more treble end snap. I can’t help but thing the burl top which is soft sort of helps mellow the tone of all the maple. Now this could all be mumbo jumbo mental crazies but I will try and do some sound samples. I wish I had Addison’s expertise in that area but I will try and figure something out to post. I don’t have my interface anymore to work with Sonar on my computer but I might have something in the works here really soon.

No sense in having 2 of them right? I'm on the east coast too so I'll just swing by and take the old warrior "beater bass" off your hands :mrgreen:
