Wicked 4-String Quilted Maple/Purpleheart Bass
This Wicked B4Q bass has a wonderful Purpleheart neck with thin laminations of Maple. The body has double binding layers of Maple sandwiched between a Purpleheart core and local Quilted Maple front and back pieces. The finish turned out a little amber on this one so it appears slightly antiqued. The fretboard is jet-black Ebony with Abalone position markers.
