I'm guessing the color is not accurately shown, and the image is a touch grainy, but I'd guess the thicker piece is alder. Won't even hazard a guess as to the thinner piece.

| | | | I'm sorry I forgot to specify, I would like to identify all of the woods composing the bass: Body, back, neck, is this a 5 piece neck? Thanks! |

Mahogany, Walnut, Maple, Purpleheart. | I tried to to look up the model, but the luthier doesn't have a website or contact info. Seems to be one of a kind bass... |

| | | | I currently don't have an amp because this is my first bass after 4 years of not playing, what would be the tonal characteristics of this bass? It's got EMG 45P and 45J pickups. |

| | | | I am not sure it's Koa, because seems to be darker. |
