EBMM is really good at book matching. I am really picky about this and glad they did a great job. Not like some other companies. I would have returned a bass with a finish like this:

Why? That's a glorious one-piece body. No matching involved whatsoever. I think that figuring looks brilliant. 

 

EBMM don't bookmatch their bodies. That would mean they would have to make them from really thick slices of ash that they cut down the length and fold open, so that the insides of the wood are 100% symmetrical. That's very unusual and rare with body woods and is usually only done with top woods and veneers. 

 

The best matching job I ever saw (that genuinely looked like bookmatching!) was on a G&L ASAT Special that I foolishly sold:
