I have never had the pleasure of building with buckeye burl, and frankly avoided the stuff. With the customer request to use it, it gave me the opportunity to really explore its beauty. The bass obviously features the buckeye burl top with matching pickup covers and knobs. It is set over a sassafras body, with a 5 piece maple set neck, and birdseye maple fretboard. It is packed with an <a href=\"https:\/\/bestbassgear.com\/nordstrand-bass-preamps.htm\">18V Nordstrand 3b-5b pre<\/a>, though the customer requested to split the bass\/ treble pot into separate units. We also decided to use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bestbassgear.com\/nordstrand-pickups.htm\">Nordy Fat stacks<\/a> with independent coil taps. All the hardware is <a href=\"https:\/\/bestbassgear.com\/hipshot-ultralight-tuners.htm\">Hipshot<\/a>.
