This is walnut. My bass has walnut. People have been asking what walnut sounds like. I've had my ear to this thing for 2 days and I swear, I cant hear a thing.

Well, I have a set of strings and pickups in front of me. No sound coming from them at all  
Nice piece of wood you have there friend!

You would though, if it were playing. |
