It's a nice bass, no doubting that. Just to be clear, the Kauri tree itself isn't 50,000 years old, it's more than likely reclaimed swamp Kauri.
Beautiful nonetheless.

yes my understanding was it's essentially wood that originated 50,000 years ago and has since been preserved probably as you said in a swamp
My buddy has a thing for Reverends. I don't blame him, they are stunning.
He just got this one today.
This is his first one. Bastard.

not a bad looking axe Pabs, pretty cool body shape, bit like a distorted Jazzmaster. Another variation on the headstock too
