zeronyne Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Does anyone in the lowdown own a bass with a holly top that isn't completely lacquered? if so can you give some opinions about how it looks and feels? "For instance" is not proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b5pilot Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Dang Ken, ya beat me to it. Seriously what's a holly top? Lydian mode? The only mode I know has the words "pie ala" in front of it. http://www.myspace.com/theeldoradosband Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBFLA Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Roscoe made a batch that were (exclusively) for a S. American Roscoe dealer. The top was fairly thin and I don't recall reading anything about it making a difference tone-wise... ...but it's been a while and I could be wrong. http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll253/JBFLA/Hollytop_zps3de06541.jpg Jim Confirmed RoscoeHead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy c Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 If the top is very thin, it shouldn't make any difference to the sound. At least that's what the people at Alembic told me. Free download of my cd!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenfxj Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 If a veneer affects the tone at all I would think the difference would be so slight that human ears couldn't detect it. Of course black paint does make a bass louder so what the heck do I know? :idk Push the button Frank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wally Malone Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Someone should ask their dog if they can hear a difference. Wally I have basses to play, places to be and good music to make! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
