The bass is 9 pounds.

-Flamed maple neck with a rosewood fretboard, a bone nut. It is P-Bass style.

Forgive my ignorance, but what is the advantage of having two different woods in a two piece body?

It's a good looking bass, good luck with the sale

I spoke to the builder and his thoughts were that the alder would give a fuller bottom and the walnut would help with the top end a bit. His thoughts...I am the second owner so this was not built for me. I think the bass sounds really great. It has a real vintage vibe. I particularly love the old p-style pick up sound. But I'm on the orginal list for a Callowhill J(unk) and I have to find a way to pay for it if Tim ever gets around to building it

Also, I forgot to say that the bass is currently strung with flats.

Here is a close up of the wood work:

Someone asked if the neck was bought or built by Swansong. It definitely seems to have been built by Nelson. Also, it is reinforced with 2 graphite rods.
