I dunno. The back of mine looks great. Really beautiful. But the front? Somewhat less so.

Thanks, but the front has very little character compared to others I've seen, and even to its own back. Check out the beautiful wood grain on the back of the same bass.

with character, less can be more.
I think your bass looks quite nice, even if it hasn't got a wild swirling grain on the front.
It's got a sweet mokka tone to it
If you can't live with it try to swap it for another one?

Ah, I can live with it. But if there's anybody out there who thinks mine looks better than theirs, well, we can talk.

yeah the back of mine is a little nicer than it's front IMO
