What kind of exotic wood is the fret board made of?

extremly cheep israeli pine.

But the one you saw is just the prototype. i made every possible mistake in it.

I need to find some mapel tree, and make it narrower - so other people except me can play...

Electric pickup.... That will be developed, aventually, even thou i have a clip-on mic, so i can play with that... and i did.
I'll tune it again, and make a better one (thunder and lighning..)

Thank you for the support. if you need any starting tips about the bass you make, let me know. i made enough mistakes to pass arround.
