About ART (Acrylic Resin Treated) Woods

The Hybrid Turkish Walnut top is not just visually stunning—it also enhances stability and resonance. For over 20 years, Alan has refined the use of acrylic-impregnated woods, creating highly figured tops that are as durable as they are beautiful. The ART/Hybrid process, developed in collaboration with the late Larry Davies, results in one-of-a-kind color patterns and textures, making each bass a distinctive work of art.
