Solid walnut body? Why, who'd do such a crazy thing?



...oh yeah. We would.



Absolutely, and I recommend it - not as heavy as you'd think, and sounds fantastic.

On my "short list" of basses I will own is a walnut-bodied 5 string fretted.

I like it so much, here are some photos of the floor in the house the missus and I are hopefully moving into next week, after 13 months of construction:

This bass...

http://www.gelbmusic.com/p-1941-rosc...tlewalnut.aspx

...is absolutely amazing. The description nails the sound - fat, focused, cutting, sweet. I would LOVE to record with this bass.

fwiw walnut is my favorite body wood, and one of my favorite top woods. And while we're at it, it makes a pretty nice neck too.

*cough* chambered walnut body *cough*

Nice Gard! ... but when you going to put some furniture in that house?!

You could have carved it out of a solid block of wood in 13 months!
