et il y a qq détails qui tuent je trouve !
le logo gravé, et la gorge pour l'accès à la tige de réglage
La tête dans une essence différente du manche
Le chevalet sculpté (WJ Jones est sculpteur de métier)
La jonction corps/manche avec le bout de touche qui s'amaincit
Music seems to be smitten by the bling bug too and there’s no doubt about it. In recent times we featured a collection of crystal-studded guitars on Bornrich that, I’m sure, dazzled most of the music aficionados. But those seeking pure bling can rave-up as gold and diamond encrusted Ritter bass is up for grabs for $250,000. Dubbed as Flora Aurum, it features a pure gold bejeweled floral inlay with each leaf decorated with black diamonds set in platinum. Two flawless 3,3ct diamonds sit atop the two knobs while tiny green diamonds serve as knob position markers. Even the bridge, the tuner buttons and the knobs are handcasted in gold.
Exclusively handcrafted, the body is one-piece highest-figured quilted maple while the nut is crafted out of 10,000 year-old mammoth ivory. However with this entire bling factor, it still doesn’t manage to get crowned as the most expensive bass. German luthier, Jens Ritter, crafted such an ornamented Flora Aurum cause he believes that “More and more people do not just want a tool for their job or hobby, they want a piece of culture.”
